Name

vgimport -- make exported volume groups known to the system

Synopsis

vgimport [-a|--all] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [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.

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.
