Some more information.
Did not think about that issue and wanted to rename another volume.
Same error, at the end:
rx failed to send packet: rx_sendmsg: Invalid argument
Could not start transaction on the rw volume 1702193389
Possible communication failure
Error in vos rename command.
Possible communication failure

And afterwards:

vos exa 1702193389
rx failed to send packet: rx_sendmsg: Invalid argument
rx failed to send packet: rx_sendmsg: Invalid argument
Could not fetch the information about volume 1702193389 from the server
Possible communication failure
Error in vos examine command.
Possible communication failure

Dump only information from VLDB

     RWrite: 1702193389    ROnly: 1702193390    Backup: 1702193391
     number of sites -> 4
        server 0.0.0.3 partition /vicepc RW Site
        server 0.0.0.2 partition /vicepa RO Site
        server 0.0.0.5 partition /vicepb RO Site
        server 0.0.0.3 partition /vicepc RO Site

That does look strange.

A vos exa of existing volumes does show usual, correct values.
