Hi Savin,

this sort of thing, where a physical drive is in service mode or
disabled on one node, while it's enabled on another, seems to be fairly
normal.

What could've happened here is that there is a problem with the physical
tape drive which has caused it to be put into service mode when it was
used on node one; then node two used the same physical drive and
encountered the same problem, so it was put in service mode
automatically, also; but the server either didn't use that same physical
drive, or didn't encounter the problem, so its drive is still enabled
within Networker. 

I don't believe Networker automatically disables all logical drives for
a particular physical drive when it encounters an error, which is
probably why you're seeing what you're seeing.

HTH,
John
