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.

	      vg_name	     The path name of a volume group.
