vxscrub is a command for removing unneeded entries in the registry that are a result of adding and deleting volumes. The command is designed to shrink the size of the registry by purging the system hive. Shrinking the size of the registry after adding and deleting volumes avoids problems during system restart. You must restart the system after running vxscrub.
