  • 1.  FS9200 vdisks in deleting status

    Posted Fri December 20, 2024 10:41 AM

    Hi,

    We have an FS9200 with two vdisks that are in a deleting state. One has two copies and the other only one. 

    There are two Pools on the system each enabled for compression and dedupe and these "offline" volumes prohibits us from creating new volumes with space savings enabled. Normal volumes go through fine.

    These vdisks have been in this state for weeks, how can I get rid of them?

    Any command I run against them give the same message every time:

    CMMVC8696E The command failed because the volume or a volume copy is in the deleting state.

    Any help appreciated!

    Stefan

    Hi 

    - there are no secret magic commands, however, you should check with IBM support to ensure you are not hitting a known issue, or running into a problem with related objects (such as Flash Copy Mappings or Snapshots) that might impact the behaviour here.

    Hi,

    In the meantime, while you are waiting for the support, You can check the pool capacity numbers to look for any change.

    Should there be any, that indicates the background process is still working.
