releasing a LUSE volume on a XP1024

[Mark Harshman_1]

i am trying to release a LUSE volume on a XP1024 to reset back the the standard luns. This LUSE is a combo of 8 open-e luns, for a total of 108GB. I am following the instructions in the "help" area, but is not working. I go to Volume management, select the LUSE volume i want to release. At this point, a window with all the luns appears. I right click on one and select "release luse volume" and then i get an error saying.."there are no available LUSE volumes to release the LUSE". Any ideas would be appreciated.thanks

When in volume management do you click on the CU only, or onto the actual CU:LDEV in the left hand window.

I had a quick test with a LUSE volume I have. If I click on the CU and get a list of all ldevs in the right hand window, it worked.

If I click on the LUSE volume in the left window, I then get a list of the member ldevs on the right. I get the same error as you if I try to release volume on any of them.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Richard
