Unable to offline the aggr, i made sure no volumes exist on the aggr.

Getting the following error

Error: command failed: Failed to take aggregate "XXX_aggr_3_target_BE" offline. Reason: Aggregate is in use by other operations. ().

 

Even log message:

wafl.offline.proc.file.unres: Could not resolve '1' of 'sm_stm_main's' open file names.

wafl.offline.proc.file: The 'sm_stm_main' process has '1' file'' open.

wafl.offline.openfiles: 'XXX_aggr_3_target_BE' might not be 'offlined' because of '1' open file''.

 

Any solution here?

Use aggr relocate if you don't have any volume on it and then delete it.

storage aggregate relocation start 

 

Or add -force true while running aggr offline command.

Example:
nas-cm92::> set d

nas-cm92::*> aggr offline -aggregate test -force-offline true

Warning: The aggregate contains one or more volumes. In order to offline the
aggregate, all of these volumes must be unmounted. Do you want to
unmount all of the volumes hosted by the aggregate?
{y|n}: y

Aggregate offline successful on aggregate: test

you must disable and Delete vserver audit which removes all the auditing staging (MDV) volume.

Out of 10 aggregates am trying to offline only one aggregate, and none of the vservers has root volume in this aggregate

also no vserver auditing is enabled. No sign of MDV volumes in any aggr

Tnx for the help,

relocation did work, Offline was failing even with force too.
