>From memory, which is a dangerous thing these days, I'm fairly certain that you can eject tapes from the d/t 3494 via the 'action' panel but I can't remember weather you have to be in manual mode or not. In your case that doesn't appear to be a concern though. Ejecting virtual tapes is a little different (I think this is done in the 'commands' popup) but do'able.

The plan is for that unit to run stand alone until we bring up a production LPAR and begin a recovery. Tapes would be rotated in and out of the unit using printed reports from the base system. The operators want to use the ATL console to eject tapes, but can't find the function. I seem to recall someone saying that the eject function is something that can only be done via a running RMM. That is, manual tape management is not fully supported. Am I understanding things correctly?
