LUNs claimed but not in use by VxVM may report \"Device Busy\" when it is accessed outside VxVM (3667574)

Last published : Sep 18, 2026
When a LUN claimed by Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) is accessed, the open on the device gets cached for performance improvement. Due to this, some OS utilities which require exclusive access reports Device Busy.

Workaround:

To solve this issue, either exclude these LUNs from the VxVM view or disable them by typing vxdmpadm disable dmpnodename=<> CLI.
