I just use the Tape Library GUI and place back in the slot and just update
the inventory manually.
Although, I must admit I have only ever had 1 tape stuck in a drive, and
that was due to a heating problem ...... or should I say "lack" or cooling
problem :-)

Sometimes I have had to remotely logon to the media server and use the "mt"
command to rewind and eject the tape. Then I was able to use robtest to
place it back into its proper slot. This happens when the robotic control
host does not have access to the tape drive.

I am just curious how many of you remotely handle tapes that get stuck in a
drive. Job fails, or the drive goes down etc. I'm sure most use robtest but
was wondering if any other methods are used.
