Hi!

 

We are trying to delete a SVM but get the following error:
Error: command failed: [Job 5777] Job failed:
The IPV4 address specified with "-address" is not supported because it is one of the following:
multicast, loopback or 0.0.0.0.
Try the command after sometime.

 

We have deleted the SVM peer relationship associated with the SVM.
Disabled all Snapmirror relations
We have unmounted all volumes on the SVM, taken them offline, and deleted them including the root volume of the SVM.
We have deleted CIFS server.
Deleted any customized user accounts and roles associated with the SVM.
And the SVM is stopped

We have tried to delete the LIF, but same error.

created the LIF again, and when we run the command same error but also it deletes the LIF once again

 

The Vserver Admin State: deleting , whatever that means?

Hi

 

 

Below are the steps to be followed  before you begin to delete SVM,

 

1. You must have deleted the SVM peer relationship associated with the SVM.
2. You must have disabled Snapshot copies, and DP and LS mirrors for all volumes.
3. If you are using LUNs, you must have unmapped the LUNs, taken them offline, and deleted them.
4. You must have deleted all the igroups that belong to the SVM manually.
5. You must have unmounted all volumes on the SVM, taken them offline, and deleted them including the root volume of the SVM.
6. You must have deleted CIFS server.
7. You must have deleted any customized user accounts and roles associated with the SVM.
8. You must have stopped the SVM.

 

When you delete an SVM, the following objects associated with the SVM are also deleted automatically:

LIFs, LIF failover groups, and LIF routing groups
Export policies
Sis policies

You cannot recover any SVM related information after deleting an SVM.

 

Thanks

Well we have followed those steps, and we have deleted SVMs before.

 

This is the first time we get the particular error message.

Did you get an answer to this?  We have the same issue.  

The IPV4 address specified with "-address" is not supported because it is one of the following:
multicast, loopback or 0.0.0.0.
Try the command after sometime.

No, Sorry .. no solution at this moment.

 

I have a case open about this now, and we are scheduled to have a webex session tomorrow.

Will update this post when I have any more information.

 

BTW, got information that there´s a burt on this, 908671 .

But it´s internal so far, so no public information.

 

But it did mention this could happen if you uppgrade from 8.2.x to 8.3, which we have done.
