1.) All the lights blink amber (tape, disk, ready, etc)
2.) Then the ready light blinks green
3.) Then back to #1
Thanks again for our help.

Also, if you have L&TT loaded you can run the LTO Stuck Tape Test and that will do an eject too.
Hopefully one of those two will take the tape out.

Re: Ultrium 920 - Tape Stuck in Drive - Drive is Offline
It's most likely the power cycle, that resolved the tape drive, from hangin.
The tape drive was in failure mode. To get out of failure mode, it need to be power cycled. Since a server reboot doesn't power cycle, the tape will remain in failure mode.
I have experienced this behaviour, several times on DAT drives.
Pressing the eject button for more than 10 seconds won't make any difference.
After power on the tape drive have to finish it's self test, before it will react to any commands
