Error Message

As per the engine log for VCS:

2011/05/15 01:02:20 VCS INFO V-16-2-13001 (rsu8) Resource(mnt_cdwetl):
Output of the completed operation (online)
mount: /dev/cdwetllv on /cdwetl: No such device or address

The current volume is: /dev/cdwetllv
Open volume exclusive read or write returned, rc = 6
fsck: 0507-289 Device unavailable or locked by another process.
Cannot continue.

mount: /dev/cdwetllv on /cdwetl: No such device or address 

The filesystem in question was already mounted by the operating system and was declared in /etc/filesystems:

/ciwetl:
        dev             = /dev/ciwetllv
        vfs             = jfs2
        log             = /dev/logrsu8bvglv
        mount           = true <----------------------should be "false"
        check           = false
        options         = rw
        account         = false

The entry in /etc/filesystems must have its mount option said to "false" to allow VCS to control its mount, rather than both AIX and VCS. This then prevents AIX auto-mounting the filesystem at boot time, and allows VCS to perform the mount without error.
