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

vgexport \u2212 Unregister volume group(s) from the system<\/p>\n

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

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

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

vgexport changes a VG into the exported state, which ensures that the VG and its disks are not being used, and cannot be used until the VG is imported by vgimport<\/b>(8). Putting a VG into an unusable, offline state can be useful when doing things like moving a VG\u2019s disks to another system. Exporting a VG provides some protection from its LVs being accidentally used, or being used by an automated system before it\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n

A VG cannot be exported until all of its LVs are inactive.<\/p>\n

LVM commands will ignore an exported VG or report an error if a command tries to use it.<\/p>\n

For an exported VG, the vgs command will display attribute, and the pvs command will display attribute. Both vgs and pvs will display report field.<\/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

\u2212\u2212config<\/b> String<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

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

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

An alias for \u2212\u2212commandprofile or \u2212\u2212metadataprofile, depending on the command.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

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

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

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

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

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
