vxfsync

The vxfsync utility uses Fast File Resync to resynchronize a single file in a snapshotted volume to the original volume. It is designed to restore a good copy of one corrupt file in a database application that has volumes with multiple database files.

vxfsync -g <DynamicDiskGroupName> -m <Mastervolume> -s <Snapvolume> -f <filename>

The vxfsync command is only available from the following Storage Foundation folder:

%ProgramFiles%\Veritas\Veritas Volume Manager

-g <DynamicDiskGroupName>

The name of the disk group containing the original and snapshotted volumes.

-m <Mastervolume>

The original volume.

-s <Snapvolume>

The name of the split-mirror snapshot volume.

-f <filename>

The file name of the file to be resynchronized to the original volume.

Example

vxfsync -g test -m vol1 -s vol1_snap01 -f test.dat

This command uses the snapshot volume (the replica), vol1_snap01, to resynchronize or restore the file test.dat on the master or original volume, vol1.
