Failed verifydata operation leaves residual cache objects that cannot be removed (3370667)
When you use the verify data command, and type
\# vradmin -g dgname verifydata rvgname IPaddress cachesize=size
the command may fail and leave residual cache objects that cannot be removed.
Workaround:
To solve this problem, choose different ways based on different residual cache objects.
To explicitly clean up the cache object that is associated to SO snapshots:
-
List the SO snapshots that are created on a cache object by typing:
\# vxcache -g dgname listvol volumename-
Unmount the listed snapshots.
-
Remove the snapshot volume. Type:
\# vxedit -g dgname -fr rm volumename -
It also removes the cache object.
To clean up the cache object that is not associated to the snapshot volume but associated to the cache volume:
-
Stop the cache object by typing:
\# vxcache -g dgname stop cacheobject_name-
Remove the cache object. Type:
\# vxedit -g dgname -rf rm cacheobject_name -
It also removes the cache volume.
