NetApp volume: unknown state (missing volume on GUI)

I ran into an issue recently where the NetApp volume was not visible on the GUI. The system manager reported that aggregates were offline. However, that wasnt really the case. The volume was visible on the command line and an attempt to offline the volume produced the following error :

Modification not permitted. Unable to determine the state of the volume.
  

Issue: This was an issue in synchronizing data between WAFL and VLDB . 

Fix:  Run the 'debug vreport show' command in diagnostic mode. and then run 'debug vreport fix' to fix the error 

Here is the command output
CLUST::*> debug vreport show
