Hi,

that could be a typical problem with linux .. could u see if any process is holding the volume

# fuser /dev/vx/dsk/<diskgroup>/<volume>

if any process is holding it, you may try to kill the process & then see if dg can be deported cleanly ..

Hi Gaurav,

Appreciate for the quick reply. unfortunately, fuser didn't report anything. some sort of lock on the volumes?

any other idea?

Hello Ida,

# vxprint -g <diskgroup> -m <volume> | grep devopen

If the above command returns "devopen=on" then the volume is still in an active state in the kernel, although it is probably not showing up as mounted when the df -k command is run.

You may need to reboot the server in order to fix the issue.

Thanks,

Dev

Thanks dev,

that explains it. unfortunately, i don't know enough to fix it.

according to technote

the only way is to reboot.

I think in such cases with the current platform , the only way is to reboot the host.
