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

Hello all,



I have tape mounted in a tape device and for the life of me I cannot remember the command/syntax to rewind it. It’s been quite some time since I have had to use this command. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.
