This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi,
I tried ejecting a tape from a drive using robtest unload d2
Now it's stuck at:
s d
drive 1 (addr 256) access = 1 Contains Cartridge = no
drive 2 (addr 257) access = 0 Contains Cartridge = yes
Source address = 4133 (slot 38)
Barcode = 000033
READ_ELEMENT_STATUS complete
unload d2
Opening {3,0,0,0}, on the local host, please wait...
It's been an hour now... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Run
m d2 s38

Robtest and ejecting media from a running system NB is not altogether a good idea Robby, so maybe you were doing it to fix a problem ...possibly a problem where the tape wont eject? A bit more info might be useful, to give us some background info.
Long and short is, perhaps the tape really is stuck? I've seen a few, but would normally expect an error on the drive at some point. I cant see what OS you are running, nor what robotics.

Maybe tape is really stuck in drive.
Best to open library door to see what's going on.

Hi,
Not sure what happened there, but it eventually errored out. I just restarted the library and after that the tape was successfully ejected using "m d2 sNN".
Thanks for all the comments/replies.
Cheers.
Excellent - please mark the post that helped you the most as the solution.
