vgchange − change attributes of a volume group
vgchange [−A|−−autobackup {y|n}] [−a|−−available {y|n}] [−d|−−debug] [−h|−−help] [−l|−−logicalvolume MaxLogicalVolumes] [−v|−−verbose] [−−version] [−x|−−allocation {y|n}] [VolumeGroupName...]
vgchange allows you to change the attributes of one or more volume groups. Its main purpose is to activate and deactivate VolumeGroupName, or all volume groups if none is specified. Only active volume groups are subject to changes and allow access to their logical volumes. During volume group activation, if vgchange recognizes snapshot logical volumes which were dropped because they ran out of space, it displays a message informing the administrator that such snapshots should be removed (see lvremove(8)).
OPTIONS
−A,
−−autobackup{y|n}
Controls automatic backup of metadata after the change. See vgcfgbackup (8). Default is yes.
−a, −−available{y|n}
Controls the availability of the volume group for input/output. In other words: makes a volume group known/unknown to the kernel.
−d, −−debug
Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG).
−h, −−help
Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.
−l, −−logicalvolume MaxLogicalVolumes
Changes the maximum logical volume number of an existing inactive volume group.
−v, −−verbose
Displays verbose runtime information about vgchange’s activities.
−−version
Displays tool and IOP version and exit successfully.
−x, −−allocation{y|n}
Enables or disables the extension/reduction of this volume group with/by physical volumes.
To activate all known volume groups in the system:
|
vgchange -a y |
To change the maximum number of logical volumes of inactive volume group vg00 to 128.
|
vgchange -l 128 /dev/vg00 |
vgchange returns an exit code of 0 for success and > 0 for error:
1 error writing
VGDA to physical volume(s)
2 error changing extensibility of volume group
3 error doing backup of VGDA
4 extension of MaxLogicalVolume would cause overlapped
physical extents
5 error backup of volume group metadata
6 error copying volume group metadata to work file
7 error creating volume group directory and special files
8 error removing volume group directory and special
files
95
driver/module not in kernel
96 invalid I/O protocol version
97 error locking logical volume manager
98 invalid lvmtab (run vgscan(8))
99 invalid command line
If volume groups can’t be activated, run
vgscan(8) and retry.
LVM_AUTOBACKUP
If this variable is set to "no" then the automatic backup of VG metadata is turned off.
LVM_VG_MAX_BACKUPS
This variable determines the backup history depth of kept VGDA copy files in /etc/lvmconf. It can be set to a positive number between 0 and 999. The higher this number is, the more changes you can restore using vgcfgrestore(8).
