lvsync − synchronize stale mirrors in LVM logical volumes

SYNOPSIS

/sbin/lvsync lv_path ...

Remarks

This command requires the installation of the optional HP MirrorDisk/UX software (not included in the standard HP-UX operating system) before it can be used. 

DESCRIPTION

The lvsync command synchronizes the physical extents of each logical volume specified by lv_path. Synchronization occurs only on physical extents that are stale mirrors of the original logical extent. The synchronization process can be time consuming, depending on the hardware characteristics and the amount of data.
