That was so damn simple it's never occurred to me.  I always end up
doing physical intervention if the master can't talk to it.  Hopefully
I'll remember this next time.  (Knock on wood - haven't had to do this
in 3-4 months after having many issues for a few before that.)   FYI:
On some HP-UX st also exists and may be better to use.

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.
