Hi,

I need to remove a extra volume which is in disabled state as:

vxprint -v shows:
v dbdumps_NBt fsgen DISABLED 251658240 - NEEDSYNC - -

Volume is in NEEDSYNC state.

When i run the command
vxedit -f -r -g ossdg rm dbdumps_NBt

i get the error as:

ERROR code 13

Can you try resyncing the volume to get it out of NEEDSYNC?

Then you might be able to stop the volume and remove it.

You could check the man page for vxvol. You could try a forced resync or stop on the volume.

Hi,

# vxvol stop dbdumps_NBt

# vxedit -rf rm dbdumps_NBt
