https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/tape-eject/m-p/2563935#M8021 Every few months I find it almost IMPOSSIBLE to eject a tape from the internal DDS4 20/40 tape drive on our ML570 Server using the Removable Media MMC in Win2K without having to reboot. I literally can't even get the tape's light to blink! <BR /> <BR />Drives me crazy. <BR /> <BR />Any suggestions beyond rebooting the server? <BR /> <BR />Chris.
