Thanks everyone for your help,
I figured out the problem, it was a storewise v7000 lock that gets placed on a
volume after being halted due to a lack of available space.
For future reference if anyone is using this type of SAN and they happen to run
out of space on a volume and the guest halts, do the following :
1. under monitoring option select events in the V7000
administration gui.
2. select the given alert for the guest that ran out of space.
3. right click on the event and select Run Fix Procedure.
4. at the bottom of the explanation a radio button will appear
with two options.
a. depending on your situation, select the fix single
or all io lock(s).
5. after this the volume becomes available again.
again Thank you everyone, hope this thread will save some else in the future.
