VGIMPORTCLONE(8)					      VGIMPORTCLONE(8)

NAME
       vgimportclone - import and rename duplicated volume group (e.g. a hard‐
       ware snapshot)

SYNOPSIS
       vgimportclone [-n|--basevgname  VolumeGroupName]	 [-i|--import]	Physi‐
       calVolume [PhysicalVolume...]

DESCRIPTION
       vgimportclone  is  used	to import a duplicated VG (e.g. hardware snap‐
       shot).  Duplicate VG(s) and PV(s) are not able to be  used  until  they
       are  made  to  coexist  with the origin VG(s) and PV(s).	 vgimportclone
       renames the VG associated with the  specified  PV(s)  and  changes  the
       associated VG and PV UUIDs.

OPTIONS
       See lvm for common options.

       -n|--basevgname VolumeGroupName
	      By  default the snapshot VG will be renamed to the original name
	      plus a numeric suffix to avoid duplicate naming (e.g.  'test_vg'
	      would  be renamed to 'test_vg1').	 This option will override the
	      base VG name that is used for all VG renames.  If a  VG  already
	      exists  with  the	 specified name a numeric suffix will be added
	      (like the previous example) to make it unique.

       -i|--import
	      Import exported Volume Groups.  Otherwise	 VGs  that  have  been
	      exported will not be changed (nor will their associated PVs).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       LVM_BINARY
	      The LVM2 binary to use.  Defaults to "lvm".

EXAMPLES
       The origin VG vg00 has origin PVs /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and the respec‐
       tive snapshot PVs are /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd.  To rename the VG  associ‐
       ated  with  /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd from vg00 to vg00_snap (and to change
       associated VG and PV UUIDs) do:

	    vgimportclone --basevgname vg00_snap /dev/sdc /dev/sdd
