NAME

vgimportclone − import and rename duplicated volume group (e.g. a hardware snapshot)

SYNOPSIS

vgimportclone [−n|−−basevgname VolumeGroupName] [−i|−−import] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]

DESCRIPTION

vgimportclone is used to import a duplicated VG (e.g. hardware snapshot). Duplicate VG(s) and PV(s) are not able to be used until they are made to coexist with the origin VG(s) and PV(s). vgimportclone renames the VG associated with the specified PV(s) and changes the associated VG and PV UUIDs.

OPTIONS

See lvm for common options.
−n|−−basevgname VolumeGroupName

By default the snapshot VG will be renamed to the original name plus a numeric suffix to avoid duplicate naming (e.g. ’test_vg’ would be renamed to ’test_vg1’). This option will override the base VG name that is used for all VG renames. If a VG already exists with the specified name a numeric suffix will be added (like the previous example) to make it unique.

−i|−−import

Import exported Volume Groups. Otherwise VGs that have been exported will not be changed (nor will their associated PVs).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

LVM_BINARY

The LVM2 binary to use. Defaults to "lvm".

EXAMPLES

The origin VG vg00 has origin PVs /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and the respective snapshot PVs are /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd. To rename the VG associated with /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd from vg00 to vg00_snap (and to change associated VG and PV UUIDs) do:

vgimportclone --basevgname vg00_snap /dev/sdc /dev/sdd
