vgsync(8)
NAME
  vgsync - Synchronizes logical volume mirrors that are stale in  one or more
  volume groups

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/vgsync VolumeGroupName ...

DESCRIPTION
				     Note

       This command is no longer supported on Digital UNIX systems.
       Features formerly provided by the Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
       are now provided by the Logical Storage Manager (LSM).  Existing
       LVM volumes must be migrated to LSM, using an encapsulation
       process.	 For information about moving LVM volumes to LSM, see
       the vollvmencap(8) reference page and the manual Logical Storage
       Manager.


  The vgsync command synchronizes the physical extents.	 The synchronization
  occurs on the physical extents that are stale mirrors of the original
  logical extent of the logical volume(s) belonging to the volume group(s)
  specified by the VolumeGroupName parameter.  The synchronization process
  can be time consuming, depending on the hardware characteristics and the
  amount of data.  Unless disabled, the mirrors within a volume group are
  synchronized automatically when the volume group is activated by the
  vgchange -a y command.

EXAMPLES
  To synchronize the mirrors on volume group vg04, enter:

       vgsync /dev/vg04

FILES
  /usr/sbin/vgsync
