Cannot create snapshot

I have some solaris 9 I'm setting up with snapshot volumes. I created several, and then started testing them. On the first attempt, it worked fine: I broke off the snapshot, fsck'd it, mounted it, unmounted it and did a snapback without problems.
Since then, I haven't been able to break off a single snapshot on ANY volume, on ANY server. All I get is:

# vxassist -g oraXIPlogs snapshot oracle-XIP-mirrlogA oracle-XIP-mirrlogA_dcl
vxvm:vxassist: ERROR: Volume oracle-XIP-mirrlogA_dcl: No complete snapshots are available

As far as I can tell, the diskgroup/volume looks OK, but this is the first time I've tried to do anything with snapshots since the training course a couple of months ago.

from vxprint -ht:
