Complete this task to correct a fixed block volume configuration error.
There might be occasions when you are using the mkfbvol command to create fixed block volumes, but the transaction fails. You might not be aware of the failure until you run the lsfbvol or the showfbvol command to check the status of the volumes that you have created.
The lsfbvol or the showfbvol commands display reports that includes a configstate category. The configuration state category reports on the current state of the rank. One of the configuration state codes is configuration error.
A status of configuration error specifies that the configuration process did not complete successfully. This state reflects an internal error condition and is not an indication that there was a user input error.
You might want to gather additional information about what caused the error, which can help you determine how to correct it. Generally, to correct this error state, you must delete the designated volume configuration and submit a new transaction request.
Perform the following steps to obtain additional information about the configuration error and to correct this error condition.
