Hello Kimberly,

This can happen. You have to remove the lock before you can try again.

For all operating systems, issue the armmgr â b command to break each advisory lock.

armmgr -b CreateLun array_id
armmgr -b FwDownload array_id
armmgr -b Security array_id
armmgr -b Select array_id
armmgr -b PassThru array_id
armmgr -b HostPort array_id

Note: In most cases you will see a message indicating that the lock could not be broken. This is normal. It means that the lock was not set. It is not an error.
