Cause

The migration process was interrupted when the VOM managed host (MH) lost connectivity with the VOM central management server (MS).
 

Resolution

1. Determine which MHs have outstanding migration tasks that have not completed. This can be done using the VOM GUI.

2. From the MH, run these commands:

# cd /opt/VRTSsfmh/bin
# ./vxtemplate list jobs   (to show outstanding jobs)
# ./vxtemplate purge -a (to purge jobs from queue)

Note: If jobs are left that will not purge (for example, the WAITING jobs), remove /var/opt/VRTSsfmh/tasks.json.


3. Remove the plexes.

# vxprint -htg
# vxplex -g -v dis

Note: The plex should now show DISABLED.

# vxedit -g -rf rm


4. Use vxprint to check that plex was removed:

# vxprint -htg
