Failed verifydata operation leaves residual cache objects that cannot be removed (3370667)

When you use the verify data command, and type

# vradmin -g dgname  verifydata rvgname IPaddress cachesize=size

the command may fail and leave residual cache objects that cannot be removed.

Workaround:

To solve this problem, choose different ways based on different residual cache objects.

To explicitly clean up the cache object that is associated to SO snapshots:

List the SO snapshots that are created on a cache object by typing:
```
# vxcache -g dgname listvol volumename
```
Unmount the listed snapshots.
Remove the snapshot volume. Type:
```
# vxedit -g dgname -fr rm volumename
```
It also removes the cache object.

To clean up the cache object that is not associated to the snapshot volume but associated to the cache volume:

Stop the cache object by typing:

# vxcache -g dgname stop cacheobject_name

Remove the cache object. Type:
```
# vxedit -g dgname -rf rm cacheobject_name
```
It also removes the cache volume.
