vgcfgrestore

VGCFGRESTORE(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   VGCFGRESTORE(8)

NAME

       vgcfgrestore - restore volume group descriptor area

SYNOPSIS

       vgcfgrestore   [-b|--backup_number   VolumeGroupBackupNumber]  [-d|--debug]  [-f|--file	VGConfPath]  [-l[l]|--list  [--list]]  [-h|--help]
       [-i|--ignore_size] [-n|--name VolumeGroupName] [-o|--oldpath OldPhysicalVolumePath] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [PhysicalVolumePath]

DESCRIPTION

       vgcfgrestore allows you to restore the volume group descriptor area from backup files in /etc/lvmconf or from VGConfPath to the given Phys-
       icalVolumePath.	 The  default  backup  file is /etc/lvmconf/VolumeGroupName.conf.  This command DOES NOT restore data contained in logical
       volume(s), only the LVM configuration metadata!

   OPTIONS
       -b, --backup_numberVolumeGroupBackupNumber
	      Restore from the specified backup number. Use together with option -n which gives the name of the volume group. See examples below.

       -d, --debug
	      Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG).

       -f, --file VGConfPath
	      Restore from the specified path. Useful for selection of specific backups in the backup history or for copies of VGDA backups.

       -i, --ignore_size
	      Restore though the size of the physical volume doesn't match the one in the backup.

       -l, --list
	      Display volume group information contained in the backup file.  If given twice, the physical and	logical  volume  information  con-
	      tained in the backup file is also shown.

       -h, --help
	      Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.

       -n, --name VolumeGroupName
	      Do a restore for this volume group name.

       -o, --oldpath OldPhysicalVolumePath
	      If  the  path  to the physical volume has changed between backup time and restore time, this option enables you to choose the corre-
	      sponding physical volume path in the backup file.

       -t, --test
	      Do a test run reading the volume group backup WITHOUT trying to restore it

       -v, --verbose
	      Give verbose runtime information about vgcfgrestore's activities.

       --version
	      Output the version number and exit successfully.

Examples
       To display information like with "vgdisplay vg00" stored in the backup file /etc/lvmconf/vg00.conf:

	    vgcfgrestore -n vg00 -l

       To restore the VGDA of vg00 from the alternative backup file /tmp/vg00-old to physical volume /dev/sdn1:

	    vgcfgrestore -f /tmp/vg00-old -n vg00 /dev/sdn1

       To restore the VGDA of vg00 from the alternative backup file
       /etc/lvmconf/vg00.conf.5.old
       to physical volume
       /dev/sda5 :

	    vgcfgrestore -n vg00 -b 5 /dev/sda5

       vgcfgrestore returns an exit code of 0 for success and > 0 for error:
