I did the full sync and now the status is as below

You have new mail in /var/mail/root

Now if i start replication with below command, will there be any impact, as the primary is not buffering data as this status is there from last night.
vradmin -g ossdg -s startrep ossrvg
Just a couple of points on Guarav's comment:
When you use -f on "vxrlink att" or vradmin startrep, you are telling VVR that both sites are the same, so if for instance you stopped your application and umounted filesystems while VVR was up to date and then detached rlinks or even deleted RDS, then when you attach rlink, you can use "-f" as you know both sites are the same if the filesystems remained umounted. VVR does not check anything when you use -f, so if the secondary site is behind, then VVR will still report as consistent, even though as soon as VVR starts replicating, the secondary data will become and remain inconsistent and VVR will be unaware. So using "-f" can make your data inconsistent, but it will not effect the VVR states.
When you use autosync, VVR does not determine differences, it syncs all blocks except when using smartmove where VVR syncs all used blocks in the filesystems, and does not sync unused blocks.
