Issue

Volume conversion failed with flexcache error:
 

cluster1::*> vol conversion start -vserver svm_name -volume volume_name -check-only true

Error: command failed: Cannot convert volume "volume_name" in Vserver "svm_name" to a FlexGroup. Correct the following
issues and retry the command:
* The volume is the origin of a FlexCache volume.  Use the "flexcache origin show-caches -origin-vserver svm_name
-origin-volume volume_name" command to get the list of FlexCache volumes. Then offline the FlexCache volumes and
use the "flexcache delete -vserver <cache_vserver_name> -volume <cache_volume_name>" command to delete each of
the FlexCache volumes.
