VGMERGE(8)                           System Manager's Manual                           VGMERGE(8)

NAME
       vgmerge - Merge volume groups

SYNOPSIS
       vgmerge position_args
           [ option_args ]

DESCRIPTION
       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 desti-
       nation VG's limits.

USAGE
       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 ]
           [    --nolocking ]
           [    --profile String ]
           [    --version ]

OPTIONS
       -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 in-
              formation 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 in-
              formation.

       --longhelp
              Display long help text.

       --nolocking
              Disable locking.

       --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 dis-
              abling all metadata writing but nevertheless returning success to the calling func-
              tion. 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.)

VARIABLES
       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 re-
              fer 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 KiB, m|M is MiB, g|G is GiB, t|T is TiB, p|P  is  PiB,
              e|E  is  EiB.   (This should not be confused with the output control --units, where
              capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       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.

EXAMPLES
       Merge an inactive VG named "vg00" into the active or inactive VG named "databases", giving
       verbose runtime information.
       vgmerge -v databases vg00
