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
