CMMVC8460E: The storage pool cannot be deleted because at least one volume in the pool has received I/O within the defined volume protection period.

Explanation

If volume protection is enabled, and any volume in the pool being deleted has received I/O within the defined volume protection time period, then the command will be failed.

This behaviour is not affected by the force flag (the command would already be failed if there are any mdisks in the pool being deleted and the force flag was not used). For example, The force flag does not override the policing.

User Response

Ensure no host I/O is being sent to volumes in the storage pool and ensure you have waited for the defined volume protection time period or disable volume protection.
