No Joy with VOLUTIL :-(...
A few days ago I configured several drives and added them to the system
volume set.   After some unintended cable swapping on the back of the scsi
rack :-), my drives are in "UNKNOWN" state, but the volume names still
appear to be allocated.

Here's a DSTAT showing the state of the drives:


dstat all
 LDEV-TYPE            STATUS    VOLUME           VOLUME SET - GEN
 ----------           -------   ----------------------------------
    1-C2490AM          MASTER    MEMBER1
MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0
   11-ST32171N         MEMBER    MEMBER2
MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0
   12-ST32550W         UNKNOWN
   13-ST32171N         UNKNOWN
   14-ST32171N         UNKNOWN
   15-ST32171W         UNKNOWN
   16-ST32171N         UNKNOWN
   17-ST32171N         UNKNOWN
   18-ST32171N         UNKNOWN

Here's my "FUN" with VOLUTIL:

volutil: initvol MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:member3 12
*Verify: Initialize new member volume MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:MEMBER3 on
ldev 12
 [Y/N] ?y
*Error: Subsys     163, Info:     -10.

And here's what I think shows part of the problem:

volutil: showset MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET volumes

Volume name:             Index:
-----------              -----

  MEMBER1                   1
  MEMBER3                   2
  MEMBER4                   3
  MEMBER5                   4
  MEMBER6                   5
  MEMBER7                   6
  MEMBER8                   7
  MEMBER9                   8
  MEMBER2                   9

I doesn't want me to re-use these volume names? Any clues how to get rid
of them?
