SUMMARY: Veritas Volume Removal

[Hirdejit Singh]

The Volume was being used by the Oracle database for temp file
storing. Bringing down the database helped slove the issue.

Hi,

I am unable to remove a volume in veritas.  When removing the same with command

vxedit -g <dg> -rf rm volume-name
gives error that Volume is open or in use and cannot be destroyed.

Even vxdg destroy dg-name gives the same error

Vxprint -ht looks likes this
