NAME <\/a> <\/h2>\n

vgimport \u2212 Register exported volume group with system<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

vgimport<\/b> option_args position_args<\/i>
[ option_args<\/i> ]<\/p>\n

DESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\n

vgimport makes exported VGs known to the system again, perhaps after moving the PVs from a different system.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

USAGE <\/a> <\/h2>\n

Import specified VGs.<\/p>\n

<\/td>\n\n

\u2212q<\/b>|\u2212\u2212quiet<\/b> …<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/td>\n\n

\u2212\u2212reportformat basic<\/b>|json<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Overrides current output format for reports which is defined globally by the report\/output_format setting in lvm.conf. basic<\/b> is the original format with columns and rows. If there is more than one report per command, each report is prefixed with the report name for identification. json<\/b> produces report output in JSON format. See lvmreport<\/b>(7) for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Select objects for processing and reporting based on specified criteria. The criteria syntax is described by \u2212\u2212select help<\/b> and lvmreport<\/b>(7). For reporting commands, one row is displayed for each object matching the criteria. See \u2212\u2212options help<\/b> for selectable object fields. Rows can be displayed with an additional “selected” field (\u2212o selected) showing 1 if the row matches the selection and 0 otherwise. For non-reporting commands which process LVM entities, the selection is used to choose items to process.<\/p>\n\n\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

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\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

\u2212v<\/b>|\u2212\u2212verbose<\/b> …<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

VARIABLES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

\n
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n\n

VG<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Volume Group name. See lvm<\/b>(8) for valid names.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

Tag<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Tag name. See lvm<\/b>(8) for information about tag names and using tags in place of a VG, LV or PV.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

Select<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Select indicates that a required positional parameter can be omitted if the \u2212\u2212select<\/b> option is used. No arg appears in this position.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

String<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

See the option description for information about the string content.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

Size<\/i>[UNIT]<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Size is an input number that accepts an optional unit. Input units are always treated as base two values, regardless of capitalization, e.g. \u2019k\u2019 and \u2019K\u2019 both refer to 1024. The default input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT. UNIT represents other possible input units: bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE<\/b>. 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 \u2212\u2212units, where capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)<\/p>\n

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

See lvm<\/b>(8) for information about environment variables used by lvm. For example, LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a required VG parameter.<\/p>\n
