NAME
       lvrename - Rename a logical volume

SYNOPSIS
       lvrename position_args
	   [ option_args ]

DESCRIPTION
       lvrename	 renames  an  existing LV or a historical LV (see lvremove for
       historical LV information.)

USAGE
       lvrename VG LV LV_new
	   [ COMMON_OPTIONS ]

       lvrename LV LV_new
	   [ COMMON_OPTIONS ]

       Common options for command:
	   [ -A|--autobackup y|n ]
	   [	--noudevsync ]
	   [	--reportformat basic|json ]

       Common options for lvm:
	   [ -d|--debug ]
	   [ -h|--help ]
	   [ -q|--quiet ]
	   [ -t|--test ]
	   [ -v|--verbose ]
	   [ -y|--yes ]
	   [	--commandprofile String ]
	   [	--config String ]
	   [	--driverloaded y|n ]
	   [	--longhelp ]
	   [	--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 information about profiles.

       --config String
	      Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf set‐
	      tings.  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.

       --longhelp
	      Display long help text.

       --noudevsync
	      Disables udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for
	      notification from udev. It will continue irrespective of any
	      possible udev processing in the background. Only use this if
	      udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices LVM
	      creates.

       --profile String
	      An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending on
	      the command.

       -q|--quiet ...
	      Suppress output and log messages. Overrides --debug and --ver‐
	      bose.  Repeat once to also suppress any prompts with answer
	      'no'.

       --reportformat basic|json
	      Overrides current output format for reports which is defined
	      globally by the report/output_format setting in lvm.conf.	 basic
	      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 produces report output in
	      JSON format. See lvmreport(7) for more information.

       -t|--test
	      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'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.

       LV
	      Logical Volume name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.	 An  LV	 posi‐
	      tional  arg  generally  includes	the  VG name and LV name, e.g.
	      VG/LV.

       String
	      See the option description for information about the string con‐
	      tent.

       Size[UNIT]
	      Size  is	an  input number that accepts an optional unit.	 Input
	      units are always treated as base two values, regardless of capi‐
	      talization,  e.g.	 'k'  and 'K' both refer to 1024.  The default
	      input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.  UNIT rep‐
	      resents  other  possible	input units: bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE.	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 --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
       Rename "lvold" to "lvnew":
       lvrename /dev/vg02/lvold vg02/lvnew

       An alternate syntax to rename "lvold" to "lvnew":
       lvrename vg02 lvold lvnew
