Just a test

The answer could depending on what Tape device, since you didn't specify.
After a quick test myself, for DDS type drives:

This takes device offline. Depending on Eject settings, it may or may not 
eject the tape.

    devctrl.mpexl.telesup 7,,,offline

This will set Enable the Eject option, and take offline.

    devctrl.mpexl.telesup 7,,enable,offline

If after those commands, you wanted the Eject option to Disable,
(like myself, who occasionally work with tapes)
don't forget to re-Disable the option.

    devctrl.mpexl.telesup 7,,disable
