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



NAME
       vgexport - make volume groups unknown to the system

SYNOPSIS
       vgexport	  [-a|--all]   [--commandprofile   ProfileName]	  [-d|--debug]
       [-h|-?|--help] [--reportformat  {basic|json}]  [-S|--select  Selection]
       [-v|--verbose] [VolumeGroupName...]

DESCRIPTION
       vgexport	 allows you to make the inactive VolumeGroupName(s) unknown to
       the system.  You can then move all the Physical Volumes in that	Volume
       Group  to  a  different	system for later vgimport(8).  Most LVM2 tools
       ignore exported Volume Groups.  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).

OPTIONS
       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -a, --all
	      Export all inactive Volume Groups.
