man synclvodm:

Purpose

Synchronizes or rebuilds the logical volume control block, the device
configuration database, and the volume group descriptor areas on the physical
volumes.

Description

During normal operations, the device configuration database remains consistent
with the logical volume manager information in the logical volume control blocks
and the volume group descriptor areas on the physical volumes. If for some
reason the device configuration database is not consistent with Logical Volume
Manager information, the synclvodm command can be used to resynchronize the
database. The volume group must be active for the resynchronization to occur
(see varyonvg). If logical volume names are specified, only the information
related to those logical volumes is updated.
