HELP!!!!
One of our VOBs (Test_aad.vbs) used to be linked to an Admin VOB that
no longer exist. When the Admin VOB was removed, the Test_aad VOB was
locked. Now, we can't break the link to the Admin VOB because it is
locked (no write operations allowed), and we cannot unlock the VOB
because it cannot find the Admin VOB (can't locate the VOB ID the
Admin VOB had; hence unable to search for process guards????). We DO
NOT have any backups for the Admin VOB, so a restore is out of the
question. Any suggestions?
Here is some output that may help you help me (we have only one domain
in our environment, and I was logged in as the owner of the VOB and
member of the ClearCase group):

I tried calling Technical Support today. The answer I received was
"...well, you are SOL if I don't have a backup of the Admin VOB."
Thank you very much in advanced for any help you can provide.
