VGIMPORTCLONE(8) System Manager's Manual VGIMPORTCLONE(8)NAME
vgimportclone - import and rename duplicated volume group (e.g. a hardware snapshot)
SYNOPSIS
vgimportclone [-n|--basevgname VolumeGroupName] [-i|--import] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]
DESCRIPTION
vgimportclone is used to import a duplicated VG (e.g. hardware snapshot). 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 associ-
ated 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 respective snapshot PVs are /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd. To rename the VG asso-
ciated 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

When I give lsvg command
It says no VGs found
When I give lspv,it gives a listing of all PVs corresponding to their respective VGs i.e. rootvg,uservg,etc.
But when I give lspv hdisk0
It says rootvg not found in Configuration Manager Database.
thanks

Hi
A mismatch occurred on my system (Debian, Sid). I've got 3 disks sda, b, c.
Unfortunately, when I was adding a third disk (sdc) it all finished so that both sdb and sdc now have a boot flag. So, the first thing I would like to find out is which disk the system now boots from: sdb or sdc? In... (0 Replies)

A backup/clone script of ours was recently ran. It normally only clones the rpool and renames in rpoolA. Something must've changed as it found another one of our pools that it shouldn't have. It exported that pool unbeknownst to us. Later on when a coworker realized the other pool was missing he... (2 Replies)
