VGIMPORT(8) |
NAME¶
vgimport — make exported volume groups known to the system
SYNOPSIS¶
vgimport [-a|--all] [-d|--debug]
[-h|-?|--help] [--reportformat
{basic|json}] [-S|--select Selection]
[-v|--verbose] [VolumeGroupName...]
DESCRIPTION¶
vgimport allows you to make a Volume Group that was previously exported using
vgexport(8) known to the system again, perhaps after moving its
Physical Volumes from a different machine. 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
- Import all exported Volume Groups.
- --force
- Import exported Volume Groups even if there are missing Physical Volumes.
This option should only be used if the missing devices are known to have
failed and they cannot be restored.
