CMMVC8458E The volume cannot be removed because the volume has received I/O within the defined volume protection period.

Explanation

If volume protection is enabled, and the volume has received I/O within the defined volume protection time period, then the command will fail.

This behaviour is not changed by the volume being mapped/unmapped.

The force flag does not affect this policing behaviour. For example, the force flag does not override the policing.

User response

Ensure no host I/O is being sent to the volume and ensure you have waited for the defined volume protection time period or disable volume protection.
