Description
Error Message
# vxdg deport testdg
VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-584 Disk group testdg: Some volumes in the disk group are in use
WorkaroundThe only way to resolve the issue is to reboot the system.
Cause
The command to deport vxvm disk groups (vxdg deport) expects all the file systems that uses the volumes from the disk groups to be unmounted. In certain occasions, even after unmounting all the associated file systems and stopping the volumes, disk group deport may fail with above error message.
To check whether VxVM is still sending I/O to the volume, run the following command:
# vxprint -g -m | grep devopen
NOTE: If the above command returns "devopen=on" then the volume is still in an active state in the kernel, although it is probably not showing up as mounted when the df -k command is run.
Due to a defect in the code tracked via etrack incident 1541159, the disk group deport fails even when no volume device belonging to the DG has MSG reference count greater than 0 which incorrectly causes device BUSY error. This is reflected from vxconfigd debug log (when enabled):
