VGEXPORT(8) System Manager's Manual VGEXPORT(8)
NAME
vgexport - make volume groups unknown to the system
SYNOPSIS
vgexport [-a|--all] [--commandprofile ProfileName] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help]
[-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.
