My experience has always been that VERBOSE entry will log additional, helpful info in Event Viewer.
I would try the following:
Stop NBU device manager.
Delete this drive in device manager and rescan. Confirm that device is re-added with correct driver. Check that Windows driver is not used - use manufacturer driver.
Use HBA tool (e.g. Sansurfer if Qlogic; HBAnywhere for Emulex) to confirm settings for the 2 drives are the same.
Start NBU device manager.
Scan from cmd: <install-path>\veritas\volmgr\bin\scan
Ensure both drives are seen.
Check drive status from cmd : <install-path>\veritas\volmgr\bin\vmoprcmd -d

The drive only shows down on 1 of the media servers.
1) Check the System / Application Event Logs on PSSDBS05 - Ensure you have no events related to the drive. Also, bptm logging on the media server, may reflect why the drive was downed.
2) Disable Removable Storage Service on all three Windows hosts.
3) Attempt to reset the drive and/or library using any Vendor remote management tools
4) Cycle library if needed
5) Cycle the media server PSSDBS05

Please add VERBOSE entry to vm.conf on PMSSDBS05 (in <install-path\veritas\volmgr).
Restart NetBackup Device Management Service.
Try to UP the drive.
Check Event Viewer Application and System logs on PMSSDBS05 for errors.
Old TN that might still be relevant: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH30178
Please also disable OS Test Unit Ready. See: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO56216

Hello Marianne van den Berg,
How to add VERBOSE entry to vm.conf? On PMSSDBS05 only have this line:
MM_SERVER_NAME = pmssdbs05
I am restarted Netbackup Device Management Service and try up the drive but the same error.
I checked Event Viewer Application is ok here: TLD(0) going to UP state
I checked Event Viewer system is ok here:The NetBackup Device Manager service entered the running state.
Please help me Marianne,
Thanks
Pruvn.

Open the file with something like Notepad.
Add a new line at the bottom of the file and type:
VERBOSE
Save and close the file. Restart Device Management service.
Then try to UP and check Event viewer logs.
Please also have a look at the 2 TN's that I have posted above.

Hello Marianna,
You are right, I only do:
- Stop NBU device manager.
- Delete this drive in device manager and rescan.
Now PMSSDBS05 working very good,
Thank you very much Marianna,
Pruvn.
