vgexport(8)

NAME

   vgexport - make volume groups unknown to the system

SYNOPSIS

   vgexport   [-a|--all]   [--commandprofile   ProfileName]   [-d|--debug]
   [-h|-?|--help] [--reportformat  {basic|json}]  [-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.
