CMMVC6953E The action cannot be completed because volumes are dependent on the specified mdisk. Force is required.

Explanation

A volume depends on a drive that was specified on the applydrivesoftware command.

User response

For systems that support RAID0 arrays, if the drive is a member of a RAID0 array consider whether to introduce more redundancy to protect the data on that drive. If the drive is not a member of a RAID0 array, fix any errors in the event log that relate to the array. When the drive is a member of an array with sufficient redundancy, repeat the command. Alternatively, consider running the command and specifying the -force option.

Warning: With any drive software update, there is a risk that the drive might become unusable. Use the -force option only if you accept this risk.
