CMMVC8574E: The action failed because some volumes with owner type vvol depend on the metadatavdisk and -ignorevvolsexist was not specified.

Explanation

An attempt was made to remove a metadata volume that some other volumes depend on.

User Response

Complete one of the following actions:
  • Remove the vvol type volumes by using the rmvdisk command, then retry the rmmetadatavdisk command.
  • Alternatively, specify the -ignorevvolsexist parameter when you retry the command. Using this parameter means that the metadata volume is removed, but the dependent vvol volumes are retained.
