we have the library web console for out STK L700's in production, and
our SL500 in the lab.
I've tried many times to unload a drive with it, though I've never been
able to get it to actually unload/unmount.
 
most times I use robtest.....if I can't get it out with robtest, I'll do
a "mt -f /dev/rmt/#cbn rewoffl".
if that doesn't work, like I occasionally get a "device name does not
exist", then I'll issue the same command from another server zoned to
the same drive, (a DR box, for example).
 
If none of that works, I will press the unload button on the
drive......that works 99.9% of the time, but then sometimes the drive
disappears from one or more servers, untill I power cycle the 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.
