VGEXPORT(8)                                    System Manager's Manual                                    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.
