The only time I had to deal with a stuck tape, I had to place a hardware service call. The tech had to break the tape to remove it.

I have a LTO7 volume that will not unload from a 3573 tape library.
These are half height drives.
The volume actually got stuck on the load, nothing written.
I remember on the 3582 FH drives, there was a button you could hold in that would force a unload.
I'm note finding/seeing that same button the 3573 HH.
Any thoughts from the group.
Thank You
