symmir cancel with -f file option - synchoronized

[rondebbs]

Hello, I'm running the following command - "symmir -f file1 cancel -sid 1432" The device group was already deleted so I am using th -f (file option). The file1 txt file is pasted below with three bcv pairs.

044d 0460
044e 0461
044f 0462

It tells me it can not manipulate because the BCV is Synchronized (see below). Any ideas on how to resolve. After I run the cancel I will delete all six devices.

Thanks - Brad

Execute 'Cancel' operation for the 3 specified device(s)
in device file 'file1' (y/[n]) ? y

'Cancel' operation execution is in progress for the device list in
device file 'file1'. Please wait...


The device pair cannot be manipulated because the BCV state is 'Synchronized'

Cancel? Are you running BCVs in emulation mode? Should try running symmir split command.

You will have to Split the last 3 devices on the list before running the symmir cancel.
