CMMVC6953E: The action cannot be completed because volumes are dependent on the specified mdisk. Force is required.

Explanation

A volume is dependent on a drive that was specified on the applydrivesoftware command.

User Response

If the drive is a member of a RAID0 array, consider whether to introduce additional redundancy to the protect the data on that drive. If the drive is not a member of a RAID0 array, fix any errors in the event log that relate to the array. When the drive is a member of an array with sufficient redundancy, repeat the command. Alternatively, consider using the -force option.

Warning: With any drive software update there is a risk that the drive might become unusable. Only use the -force option if you accept this risk.
