User response

Please manually cleanup the snapshots as follows: Query the snapshot: snapshot -q -c: <source FS>. Snapshot name will be of the format: tsmxxxxxxxxxx. Check if it is mounted: df -k | grep tsmxxxxxxxxxx. Unmount the snapshot: umount -f tsmxxxxxxxxxx. Remove snapshot mount point: rmdir tsmxxxxxxxxxx. Delete the snapshot: snapshot -d /dev/tsmxxxxxxxxxx. If snapshot delete fails with "Device Busy" or some other error, unmount the snapshot source filesystem: umount -f <source FS>. Retry snapshot delete: snapshot -d /dev/tsmxxxxxxxxxx. Check if any logical volumes are remaining: ls -l /dev/tsm*. Remove any remaining logical volumes: rmlv -f tsmxxxxxxxxxx. Remount source file system, if previously unmounted: mount <source FS>.
