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.
