Issue

Customers may receive error seen below when attempting to delete FlexCache volumes and vserver if, when taking down the FlexCache, volumes are deleted in the wrong order.
 

::*> vol delete -vserver fr1bdp400 -volume ZC6

Warning: Unable to list entries for kernel on node "NODE": Volume is offline.
Error: command failed: Volume "VOLUME" in Vserver "VSERVER" is an origin of a FlexCache volume. To delete an origin of a FlexCache volume, you must first delete the FlexCache volumes that are in relationship with the origin.
Use the "volume flexcache origin show-caches -origin-vserver VSERVER -origin-volume VOLUME" command to show the FlexCache volumes associated with the origin.
