vgsync(1M)vgsync(1M)NAME
vgsync - synchronize stale logical volume mirrors in LVM volume groups
SYNOPSIS
vg_name ...
Remarks
This command requires the installation of the optional HP MirrorDisk/UX software, which is not included in the standard HP-UX operating
system.
If the volume group 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 mirrored logical volume in the volume group specified by vg_name .... Synchroniza-
tion occurs only on the 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. Unless disabled, the
mirrors within a volume group are synchronized automatically when the volume group is activated by the command.
Arguments
recognizes the following argument:
vg_name The path name of a volume group.
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 volume group
WARNINGS
It is not advisable to interrupt a process.

pvremove - remove LVM data structure from a physical volume
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
The command clears the LVM data structure on a disk, so that it is no longer an LVM physical volume. The device may then be used by the
file system or by other volume managers.
The operation is denied if pv_path is assigned to a volume group. The command only clears the LVM data structure on a disk if the disk
does not belong to a volume group. This avoids accidentally removing a valid physical volume under a volume group. If the physical volume
to be removed belongs to a volume group, use the command to first remove the volume group associated with the physical volume.
Arguments
recognizes the following arguments:
pv_path The character (raw) device path name of a physical volume.
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
Remove LVM data structure on the physical volume

Hi all,
I ended up replacing a failed disk drive on my power 7. I had a few issues with unmirroring as it had a stale logical volume. I ended up finally getting it to unmirror the rootvg. I had an empty space in slot 3 so I ended up putting the new disk in slot 3. It configured to hdisk0 with no... (2 Replies)
