Resolution

If a VxVM command appears hung or needs to be stopped for any reason, the vxtask command can be used to abort, pause, resume and check progress.
 
e.g.
vxtask abort taskid
vxtask pause taskid
vxtask resume taskid
 
Progress can be checked:
# vxtask -l list
 
e.g. with sample relayout command:
#vxassist -g datadg relayout datavol layout=stripe ncol=2
 
#vxtask -l list
