IBM CE was able to manually eject the tape, (drive had to be disassembled).
Drive was replaced.
New drive was created with new device name and new resource.
Had to delete the old, rename the new back to current.

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
