So, I decided to unmirror everything and reorganize the logical volumes since some of them were spread over disks on the same controller or mirrored onto the same physical volume.
I got it to where I had all logical volumes on disks on one controller ie. each individual volume was completely on one disk on the 1/10/0 controller. I even put lvol5 (that had the stale PE) on it's own disk (c9t3d0) with nothing else on it. Everything was fine, all PE's were current. I then mirrored each LV to it's partner disk on the 0/10/0 controller ie. everything on c9t5d0 mirrored to c5t5d0 with no issue (lvol1 - lvol4, lvol6 - lvol8) but when I tried to mirror lvol5 from c9t3d0 to c5t3d0 I ran into the stale partition again, with the same PE's, and it's different disks this time:
I obviously do not understand how a stale PE on one disk can be the same stale PE on another.
Could it be as simple as a bad data in lvol5 where I need to fsck that file system before trying to mirror?

HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64
I've got two users that show in "w" with long idle times but if I search for their processes I find nothing (ps -ef | grep username )
I'm not sure why "w" still sees them and if there is anything (short of a reboot) that I can do to clean them out.
Ideas? (8 Replies)

lvsync
lvsync(1M)lvsync(1M)NAME
lvsync - synchronize stale mirrors in LVM logical volumes
SYNOPSIS
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.
If the logical volume input arguments belong to a combination of volume groups version 1.0 and 2.0 or higher, the arguments may not be pro-
cessed in the order they are listed on the command line.
DESCRIPTION
The 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 char-
acteristics and the amount of data.
Arguments
recognizes the following argument:
lv_path The block device path name of a mirrored logical volume.
Options
recognizes the following option:
Perform mirror synchronization of logical volumes within a volume group
using multiple parallel threads. Logical volumes belonging to different volume groups will be synchronized serially. It
is possible that logical volumes start and/or complete their synchronization in a different order than specified on the
command line.
The maximum number of threads used can be controlled using the system tunable.
NOTE: This option has no effect if the volume group is activated in shared mode.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If is not specified or is null, it defaults to "C" (see lang(5)).
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, all internationalization variables default to "C" (see environ(5)).
EXAMPLES
Synchronize the mirrors on a logical volume:
Synchronize the mirrors on three logical volumes using multiple parallel threads:
Add mirror copies using with the option for three logical volumes, and then synchronize mirrors on these three logical volumes using multi-
ple parallel threads.
First, add mirror copies to each logical volume using with the option:
Now synchronize the mirrors on these three logical volumes using multiple parallel threads:
