NAME
       pvchange — change attributes of a physical volume

SYNOPSIS
       pvchange  [--addtag  Tag]  [-A|--autobackup  {y|n}]  [--commandprofile  ProfileName] [-d|--debug] [-f|--force]
       [--deltag Tag] [--metadataignore {y|n}] [-h|-?|--help] [--reportformat {basic|json}]  [-S|--select  Selection]

DESCRIPTION
       pvchange allows you to change the allocation permissions of one or more physical volumes.

OPTIONS
       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -a, --all
              If  PhysicalVolumePath  is  not specified on the command line all physical volumes are searched for and
              used.

       --metadataignore {y|n}
              Ignore or un-ignore metadata areas on this physical volume.  If metadata areas on a physical volume are
              ignored, LVM will not not store metadata in the metadata areas present on this Physical Volume.

       -u, --uuid
              Generate new random UUID for specified physical volumes.

       -x, --allocatable {y|n}
              Enable or disable allocation of physical extents on this physical volume.

Example
       Disallows  the  allocation  of  physical  extents on this physical volume (possibly because of disk errors, or
       because it will be removed after freeing it:

       pvchange -x n /dev/sdk1
