Followed admin guide to implement virtual volumes on 4.2.X
Source server appears to export data successfully using :

export node filespace=* domains=QRT_ORACLE filedata=all

On the target server I have issued multiple variations of :

The ANR0799E from messes reads:

ANR0799E Command :Error encountered in accessing data storage -volume
already in use.

Explanation:During command command processing,a volume cannot be used
because it is already defined in
a storage pool,or has been previously used by an export,database dump,or
database backup operation (as
recorded in the volume history)or is in use by another process.

System Action:The command command operation is ended and server operation
continues.

User Response:Specify a volume that is not in use or defined in a storage
pool,and that has not been
previously used for an export,database dump,or database backup operation as
recorded in the server volume
history information.Use the QUERY VOLUME command to display the names of
volumes that are defined to
server storage pools.Use the QUERY VOLHISTORY command to display the names
of volumes that have been
used for export,database dump,or database backup operations.


I updated the volume to READONLY  ... had no effect.

Suggestions will be welcomed.
