vgrename \u2212 Rename a volume group<\/p>\n

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

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

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

vgrename renames a VG.<\/p>\n

All VGs visible to a system need to have different names, otherwise many LVM commands will refuse to run or give warning messages. VGs with the same name can occur when disks are moved between machines, or filters are changed. If a newly connected disk has a VG with the same name as the VG containing the root filesystem, the machine may not boot correctly. When two VGs have the same name, the VG UUID can be used in place of the source VG name.<\/p>\n

<\/td>\n\n

\u2212d<\/b>|\u2212\u2212debug<\/b> …<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

\u2212\u2212driverloaded y<\/b>|n<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\u2212\u2212lockopt<\/b> String<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\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.

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

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

EXAMPLES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

Rename VG “vg02” to “myvg”:
vgrename vg02 myvg<\/b><\/p>\n

Rename the VG with the specified UUID to “myvg”.
vgrename Zvlifi-Ep3t\u2212e0Ng-U42h\u2212o0ye-KHu1\u2212nl7Ns4 myvg<\/b><\/p>\n
