NAME
       vgconvert - convert volume group metadata format

SYNOPSIS
       vgconvert [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [--label‐
       sector] [--bootloaderareasize size] [-M|--metadatatype type] [--pvmeta‐
       datacopies   NumberOfCopies]  [--metadatasize  size]  [--version]  Vol‐
       umeGroupName [VolumeGroupName...]

DESCRIPTION
       vgconvert converts VolumeGroupName metadata from one format to  another
       provided that the metadata fits into the same space.

OPTIONS
       See lvm(8) and pvcreate(8) for options.

Examples
       Convert	volume	group  vg1  from  LVM1 metadata format to the new LVM2
       metadata format.

       vgconvert -M2 vg1

RECOVERY
       Use pvscan(8) to see which PVs lost their  metadata.   Run  pvcreate(8)
       with  the  --uuid and --restorefile options on each such PV to reformat
       it as it was, using the archive file that vgconvert(8) created  at  the
       start  of the procedure.	 Finally run vgcfgrestore(8) with that archive
       file to restore the original metadata.
