syncvg command
Purpose
Synchronizes logical volume copies that are not current.
Description
The syncvg command synchronizes the physical partitions, which are copies of the original physical partition, that are not current. The syncvg command can be used with logical volumes, physical volumes, or volume groups, with the Name parameter representing the logical volume name, physical volume name, or volume group name.
Unless disabled, the copies within a volume group are synchronized automatically when the volume group is activated by the activatevg command.
Note: For
the sycnvg command to be successful, at least one good copy
of the logical volume should be accessible, and the physical volumes
that contains this copy should be in ACTIVE state.
The syncvg command will check for the NUM_PARALLEL_LPS environment variable. The value of NUM_PARALLEL_LPS will be used to set the number of logical partitions to be synchronized in parallel.
