We are facing issue with one of the SAN drives that is used for backups
the “W:/” drive – “-gbng-vob3Dg1-snap” which is used to take mirror copy with original volume in server
We are getting below error issue while deporting/importing/synching from original volume in server, if deported with "-f" the error occurs next day when imported for backup
vxdg -gbng-vob3Dg1-snap deport
Failed to complete the operation...
V-76-58645-381: Could not lock all volumes. Dynamic disk group was not deported.
vxdg -gbng-vob3Dg1-snap -n bng_vob3_dg join
failed to complete the operation...
-76-58645-381: Could not lock all volumes. Dynamic disk group was not deported.
vxdg -gbng-vob3Dg1-snap import
Failed to complete the operation...
V-76-58645-122: Dynamic disk group exists and is imported
Please lhelp resolving the issue, let me know if need any other info on this, any help is appreciated

Please share all steps up to 'deport' (e.g. snapshot, dg split, etc).
What command/utility are you using to stop I/O before taking snapshot?
If you are using NetBackup, the Snapshot Client feature can be used to automate the entire process.
