CMMVC6571E: The command has failed because the I/O group that manages the volume that you specified was offline when you submitted the command. You can use the -force flag to force the operation, which might result in the loss of cache data.

Explanation

If you submit this command without the -force flag, the I/O group that manages the volume that you specify must have a state of Online.

Note: Use of the -force flag when you change the cache mode might result in loss of the cache data for the volume, depending on the current cache mode and requested cache mode. One example of a risk of potential loss of cache data would be changing the cache mode from readwrite to none.

User Response

Either follow service procedures to bring the I/O group online or specify the -force flag to force the change of the cache mode of the volume, and resubmit the task.
