.TH VGIMPORTCLONE 8 "LVM TOOLS #VERSION#" "Red Hat, Inc." \" -*- nroff -*-
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
vgimportclone \- import and rename duplicated volume group (e.g. a hardware snapshot)
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B vgimportclone
|
|
[\-n|\-\-basevgname VolumeGroupName]
|
|
[\-i|\-\-import]
|
|
PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B 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).
|
|
.B vgimportclone
|
|
renames the VG associated with the specified PV(s) and changes the
|
|
associated VG and PV UUIDs.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-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.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-i|\-\-import
|
|
Import exported Volume Groups. Otherwise VGs that have been exported
|
|
will not be changed (nor will their associated PVs).
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBLVM_BINARY\fP
|
|
The LVM2 binary to use.
|
|
Defaults to "lvm".
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
If origin VG
|
|
.B test_vg
|
|
has PVs
|
|
.BR /dev/loop0 " and " /dev/loop1
|
|
and
|
|
.BR /dev/loop2 " and " /dev/loop3
|
|
are respective snapshot PVs of the origin PVs.
|
|
To rename the VG
|
|
associated with
|
|
.BR /dev/loop2 " and " /dev/loop3
|
|
from
|
|
.B test_vg
|
|
to
|
|
.B test_vg_snap
|
|
(and change associated VG and PV UUIDs):
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
\ vgimportclone --basevgname test_vg_snap /dev/loop2 /dev/loop3
