Basically - you'll have to use VecScatter routines to specify the
communication required. Then use VecScatterBegin/End() to invoke this
communication. Some of this info is in the tutorial slides [check
arround slide 150] in:
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/documentation/tutorials/PetscTu06.pdf

Not usre if there is an unstructured grid example code. [but there are
examples using VecScatters in src/dm/da/examples/tutorials]
