In some instances, such as recovering the contents of a corrupted volume, it may be useful to resynchronize a volume from its snapshot volume (which is used as a hot standby).
To resynchronize a volume
vxsnap -g database_dg restore database_vol source=snapvol \ destroy=yes|no
The destroy attribute specifies whether the plexes of the snapshot volume are to be reattached to the original volume.
For example, to resynchronize the volume database_vol from its snapshot volume snapvol without removing the snapshot volume:
# vxsnap -g database_dg restore database_vol \ source=snapvol destroy=no
