Well, your vldb is mildly broken, then. Do you know how the other volume
got created? Our volume creation tools should prevent you from
duplicating a volume name.

And 'vos delentry' doesn't delete volumes. You could just 'vos delentry'
the volume twice, and presumably that will get rid of the 'bad' one.
Afterwards, you can run syncserv/syncvldb/'addsite -valid' to get the
entry back for the 'good' one. But what Derrick suggests is what you
should try first:

vos listvl 536988827

Since the server it's on doesn't exist, or the reported server doesn't
have that volume, so 'examine' is going to hang / yell at you. The
'listvl' will show you the same entry for 536988828 if 536988827 is the
RW you want, so just 'delentry' it if so.
