Are you talking of recovering an LVM volume group?
then the command is vgcfgrestore... but what do you mean by server got crashed?

Yes i do talking about LVM volume group.
crash in the sense the OS got corrupted due to some other issues and not rebooting.
need to reinstall the os.
will this command(vgcfgrestore) will restore the software LVM group which was configured previously?
is any other options i need to use along with this command?
