lvsync(8) System Manager's Manual lvsync(8)
NAME
lvsync - Synchronizes logical volume mirrors that are stale in one or
more logical volume
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/lvsync LogicalVolumePath ...
DESCRIPTION
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 mi-
grated 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 lvsync command synchronizes the physical extents. The physical ex-
tents are mirrors of the original physical extent that are stale in the
logical volume(s) specified by the LogicalVolumePath parameter. The
synchronization process can be time consuming, depending on the hard-
ware characteristics and the amount of data.
EXAMPLES
To synchronize the mirrors on logical volume lv05, enter: lvsync
/dev/vg01/lv05
FILES
Specifies the command path.
