VGMERGE(8) System Manager's Manual VGMERGE(8)
vgmerge - Merge volume groups
vgmerge position_args
[ option_args ]
vgmerge merges two existing VGs. The inactive source VG is merged
into the destination VG if physical extent sizes are equal and PV and
LV summaries of both VGs fit into the destination VG's limits.
vgmerge VG VG
[ -A|--autobackup y|n ]
[ -l|--list ]
[ COMMON_OPTIONS ]
Common options for lvm:
[ -d|--debug ]
[ -h|--help ]
[ -q|--quiet ]
[ -t|--test ]
[ -v|--verbose ]
[ -y|--yes ]
[ --commandprofile String ]
[ --config String ]
[ --driverloaded y|n ]
[ --lockopt String ]
[ --longhelp ]
[ --profile String ]
[ --version ]
-A|--autobackup y|n
Specifies if metadata should be backed up automatically after
a change. Enabling this is strongly advised! See
vgcfgbackup(8) for more information.
--commandprofile String
The command profile to use for command configuration. See
lvm.conf(5) for more information about profiles.
--config String
Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf
settings. The String arg uses the same format as lvm.conf, or
may use section/field syntax. See lvm.conf(5) for more
information about config.
-d|--debug ...
Set debug level. Repeat from 1 to 6 times to increase the
detail of messages sent to the log file and/or syslog (if
configured).
--driverloaded y|n
If set to no, the command will not attempt to use device-
mapper. For testing and debugging.
-h|--help
Display help text.
-l|--list
Display merged destination VG like vgdisplay -v.
--lockopt String
Used to pass options for special cases to lvmlockd. See
lvmlockd(8) for more information.
--longhelp
Display long help text.
--profile String
An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending
on the command.
-q|--quiet ...
Suppress output and log messages. Overrides --debug and
--verbose. Repeat once to also suppress any prompts with
answer 'no'.
-t|--test
Run in test mode. Commands will not update metadata. This is
implemented by disabling all metadata writing but nevertheless
returning success to the calling function. This may lead to
unusual error messages in multi-stage operations if a tool
relies on reading back metadata it believes has changed but
hasn't.
-v|--verbose ...
Set verbose level. Repeat from 1 to 4 times to increase the
detail of messages sent to stdout and stderr.
--version
Display version information.
-y|--yes
Do not prompt for confirmation interactively but always assume
the answer yes. Use with extreme caution. (For automatic no,
see -qq.)
VG
Volume Group name. See lvm(8) for valid names.
String
See the option description for information about the string
content.
Size[UNIT]
Size is an input number that accepts an optional unit. Input
units are always treated as base two values, regardless of
capitalization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer to 1024. The
default input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.
UNIT represents other possible input units: bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE.
b|B is bytes, s|S is sectors of 512 bytes, k|K is kilobytes,
m|M is megabytes, g|G is gigabytes, t|T is terabytes, p|P is
petabytes, e|E is exabytes. (This should not be confused with
the output control --units, where capital letters mean
multiple of 1000.)
See lvm(8) for information about environment variables used by lvm.
For example, LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a required
VG parameter.
Merge an inactive VG named "vg00" into the active or inactive VG
named "databases", giving verbose runtime information.
vgmerge -v databases vg00
