Volumes missing from cluster shell but visable in node shell

Brian_McCullough — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 18:00:12 GMT

Just ran into this during migration from FAS(eos) to AFF. I had migrated all the volumes off with volume move and was just about to offline/delete a SAS aggregate, when I noticed aggregate volume count reported 3 volumes. Volume show list no volumes for that aggregate in cluster shell, but when I drop the node shell there they are. Running 9.8p21 on this lab cluster, but will fix that when I eject the FAS nodes and uplift the AFF to GA. These three volumes are empty (so no worry about data loss) and not on list to be moved (not visible in cluster shell), so not from that. Thought I would post here to see if there was a community known recovery path or node shell fix before moving node decom(wipe).

Try this (don’t act on it, just try it)

set diag

debug vreport show

Never used that one before, it did report mismatch and vreport fix removed the mismatch, vol count still remains at 3 and volumes online in node shell (still unable to offline/delete in node shell, not tried force yet).

The one thing I did not check is to see if the volumes were visible in the cluster shell and they were. Thanks for the tip and path to solution. Now to migrate these last volumes.
