VGEXPORT(8) |
NAME¶
vgexport - make volume groups unknown to the system
SYNOPSIS¶
vgexport [-a|--all] [--commandprofile
ProfileName] [-d|--debug]
[-h|-?|--help] [--reportformat
{basic|json}] [-S|--select Selection]
[-v|--verbose] [VolumeGroupName...]
DESCRIPTION¶
vgexport allows you to make the inactive VolumeGroupName(s) unknown to
the system. You can then move all the Physical Volumes in that Volume Group to
a different system for later vgimport(8). Most LVM2 tools ignore
exported Volume Groups. vgexport clears the VG system ID, and vgimport sets
the VG system ID to match the host running vgimport (if the host has a system
ID).
OPTIONS¶
See lvm(8) for common options.
- -a, --all
- Export all inactive Volume Groups.
