How about a 'syncvg -v rootvg'?

Bill:
I tryed that.
When I "run synclvodm -v rootvg", a message indicating that I shoud execute varyonvg appears.
When I run "varyonvg rootvg", I get a message like "LVM system call returned an unknown error code (3)"
And everything starts again...

Regards

Ignacio
