Synchronizing a Volume

You can replace a failed volume in a mirror. You must then synchronize the new volume to the original mirrored volumes. See the working example: “Replacing a Mirrored Volume,” page 256.

You need to define two parameters to synchronize a volume:

SWITCH	PARAMETER	DEFINITION	STATUS	EXAMPLE
-src	SOURCE VOLUME	ORIGINAL VOLUME	MANDATORY	Simple3
		TO SYNCHRONIZE
		TO

-dst

DESTINATION	NEW VOLUME TO	MANDATORY	Simple5
VOMUE	ADD TO
	SYNCHRONINZE

Example:

The volume Simple3 is synchronized to the volume Simple5.

volume mirror sync –src Simple3 –dst Simple5

If you are working in a cluster, the volume will be displayed in the state need sync on both V-Switches. Synchronize the volume on the exposing V- Switch using the CLI command volume mirror sync. Perform a dummy synchronization on the non-exposingV-Switch using the CLI command volume mirror dummysync.
