SnapManager for SQL fails to move database to local lun

Hi there,

I'm in the process to demote one of our production SQL box with NetApp luns (SnapManager installed). As a part of the process, I need to move the all databases (Sys + prod) to local drive. However, I can't get SnapManager to move the DBs back. I keep getting this error message:

"the luns used by database [master] are still used by other databases"

I've tried different local drives and also tried moving the system pagefile from those drive to a different one but nothing seems to be working. I'm following this article from the online guide:

https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1217281/html/GUID-CD825C29-52C3-46A8-A154-0C6887466866.html

I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks
