NAME

       vgimport - make exported volume groups known to the system

SYNOPSIS

       vgimport [-a|--all] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [VolumeGroupName...]

DESCRIPTION

       vgimport  allows  you to make a Volume Group that was previously exported using vgexport(8) known to the system again, perhaps after moving
       its Physical Volumes from a different machine.

OPTIONS

       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -a, --all
	      Import all exported Volume Groups.

       --force
	      Import exported Volume Groups even if there are missing Physical Volumes.  This option should only be used if  the  missing  devices
	      are known to have failed and they cannot be restored.
