NAME

6       vgimport — make exported volume groups known to the system
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vgimport [-a|--all] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-S|--select Selection]
10       [-v|--verbose] [VolumeGroupName...]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       vgimport allows you to make a Volume Group that was previously exported
14       using  vgexport(8)  known to the system again, perhaps after moving its
15       Physical Volumes from a different machine.  vgexport clears the VG sys‐
16       tem  ID,  and  vgimport sets the VG system ID to match the host running
17       vgimport (if the host has a system ID).
