Error Code details
V-5-1-18732
Severity: Error 
Component: Volume Manager 
Message:
Volume %s has no connectivity across the cluster. Use '-o force' to force the operation
Description:
'This error message is displayed only in FSS (Flexible shared storage) environments when recovery of a detached volume may fail. Storage for a volume may come from directly-attached-storage (DAS) on different nodes. If all the nodes that contribute storage for a volume become inaccessible while the application is online, the volume can be marked DETACHED. Once the nodes become accessible, the user can initiate recovery of such volumes either by running the ''vxrecover'' or ''vxvol start'' commands (In general auto –recovery will take place). However, if the recovery is initiated before the minimum required nodes (that complete the volume) become accessible, the recovery can fail with the specified message.'
