Resolution
Volume Manager can probe for idle LUNs (VM disks on which no I/O is scheduled) to check for their current status. If any other process (such as VXFEN in VCS env) has a SCSI reservation on those LUNs, the system will trigger a SCSI error or SCSI reservation conflict because VxVM cannot access the LUN when it probes it. The default time for probing for idle LUNs is every five minutes:
hostname scsi: [ID 135713 kern.warning] Warning: /path/to/the/device,0 (sd0):
hostname offline or reservation conflict
Determine the current value of this tunable parameter with the following command:
# vxdmpadm gettune dmp_probe_idle_lun
Turn this feature off with the following command:
# vxdmpadm settune dmp_probe_idle_lun=off
