HSTMO0023E Could not create a unique standin block device for the new file system image. error_text. Specify the -standindevice option.

Explanation

When you attempt to mount a file system and do not specify the -standindevice parameter, the system attempts to use an unused standin block device. It creates a temporary block device-specific file for the standin block device and adds the name of the temporary file to the Linux mount table. It creates the file in the directory defined by the TMPDIR environment variable or /tmp if TMPDIR is not defined.

Action

Attempt to mount the file system again. This time, use the -standindevice parameter to specify the device-specific file name of the standin block device for the global file system image.
