How to Resync my Mirrored VG00?

[Alzhy]

An HP SE forgot to power-on an enclosure housing the other half of my VG00. Since we have "-lq" in the Auto file.. it booted right up sans the mirrors... The power has been turned back on, I did an insf -e, ioscan and the disks are back.

What's the proper way to resync the mirrors then?

vgchange -a y vg00
vgsync

In this case, all that should be needed is a vgchange -a y /dev/vgxx; on an already active VG this will attempt to include any missing PV's. Next you do a vgsync /dev/vgxx and you are done.

I would then do some lvdisplays just to make sure.

The SE needs to be adjusted with a baseball bat and give yourself a dope slap as well for not watching over his shoulder and making sure he did things correctly.

The "correct" way to do this was to never have shutdown anything; that's what hot-swap, hot-plug, and High_Availability are all about.
