This error indicates that the system is unable to find a specified volume type in the configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The specified volume type has not been defined in the system. This could be due to a configuration oversight during system setup or changes made to the volume types.
  Incorrect Volume Type: The volume type being referenced in the transaction or process may be misspelled or incorrectly entered.
