NAME

lvsync − synchronize stale logical volume mirrors in logical volumes

SYNOPSIS

/etc/lvsync lv_path ... 

REMARKS

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

DESCRIPTION

lvsync synchronizes the physical extents of the 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. 

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

LANG determines the language in which messages are displayed. 

If LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG. 

If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, lvsync behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".  See environ(5).

EXAMPLES

Synchronize the mirrors on a logical volume:

lvsync /dev/vg01/lvol5
