CMMVC1022E The action failed because there are vVol volumes that depend on the metadata volume and -ignoreexistingvvols was not specified.

Explanation

This error occurs when you try to remove a metadata volume on which other volumes are dependent. Removing such metadata volumes impacts other dependent volumes.

User response

Complete the following steps to fix this error:
  • Remove the vVol volumes on this system, then retry the rmmetadatavdisk command.
  • Alternatively, specify the -ignoreexistingvvols parameter when you retry this command. The -ignoreexistingvvols parameter ensures that the metadata volume is removed but the dependent vVol volumes are retained.
