You might try issuing a CP HALT to the "real" device address, but I don't know if that is a viable option when using VTAPE?

My CMS test worked fine. I tried it for a vseguest and when I detached the drive with a scratch tape mounted the userid hung. CP messages are just be queued when I reconnect to the userid. I used the VTQ command from another cms userid and noticed that the scratch tape was still mounted for my VSE Guest. Issuing vtrun command for my VSE guest just hung my cms user also. Something is waiting for work to complete. z/VM 4.4, unsupported I know MP3000. The VSSI software is up to date. I contacted the VSSI and they are looking into it. I hate to schedule an IPL just to clear these userids. Has anyone experience a similar problem. Since I'm unfamiliar with this product does anyone have any comments regarding their experience with it?
