unable to eject ultrium tape
I am facing problems, I cannot eject a tape from an ULTRIUM 1. Do you have any ideas what to try?
Thank you in advance.

Re: unable to eject ultrium tape
Have you turned off and then again on your drive yet? Optionaly remove also your scsi cable.

Re: unable to eject ultrium tape
Drive:HP Ultrium 1-SCSI
Format:
Status:[0]
File:0
Block 628473
I have tried to eject it with the eject button on the tape drive.
I did not power off the drive nor remove the SCSI because another ultrium tape drive is connected with the same SCSI chain.

Re: unable to eject ultrium tape
I think I had a similar (and never understood since I wasn't at site when happened) situation and I had to turn off/on the drive...
Best Regards,
Eric

Re: unable to eject ultrium tape
You should also run the LTO drive assessment test to check for other problems.
Lastly, there's troubleshooting documentation on the web that you can use for Ultrium issues, and "stuck tape" is right at the top.
Look here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00039807

Re: unable to eject ultrium tape
This issue is generally due to faulty media as well.
What does the software ejject do
#mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn offl
Even now if it does not ejject this then possibally the media is stucked in mechanism and can not be ejected without opening the drive.
HTH,
Devender
