           [    --version ]

OPTIONS

       -A|--autobackup y|n
              Specifies if metadata should be backed up automatically after a  change.   Enabling
              this is strongly advised! See vgcfgbackup(8) for more information.

       --commandprofile String
              The  command  profile  to  use for command configuration.  See lvm.conf(5) for more
              information about profiles.

       --config String
              Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf(5) settings.   The  String
              arg  uses  the  same  format  as lvm.conf(5), or may use section/field syntax.  See
              lvm.conf(5) for more information about config.

       -d|--debug ...
              Set debug level. Repeat from 1 to 6 times to increase the detail of  messages  sent
              to the log file and/or syslog (if configured).

       --devices PV
              Restricts  the devices that are visible and accessible to the command.  Devices not
              listed will appear to be missing. This option can be repeated, or accepts  a  comma
              separated list of devices. This overrides the devices file.

       --devicesfile String
              A   file   listing   devices   that  LVM  should  use.   The  file  must  exist  in
              /etc/lvm/devices/ and is managed with the lvmdevices(8)  command.   This  overrides
              the lvm.conf(5) devices/devicesfile and devices/use_devicesfile settings.

       --driverloaded y|n
              If  set  to no, the command will not attempt to use device-mapper.  For testing and
              debugging.

       -h|--help
              Display help text.

       --journal String
              Record information in the systemd journal.  This  information  is  in  addition  to
              information   enabled   by  the  lvm.conf  log/journal  setting.   command:  record
              information about the command.  output: record the default command output.   debug:
              record full command debugging.

       --lockopt String
              Used  to  pass  options  for  special  cases to lvmlockd.  See lvmlockd(8) for more
              information.

       --longhelp
              Display long help text.

       --nohints
              Do not use the hints file to locate devices  for  PVs.  A  command  may  read  more
              devices  to  find  PVs  when  hints  are  not  used. The command will still perform
              standard hint file invalidation where appropriate.

       --nolocking
              Disable locking. Use  with  caution,  concurrent  commands  may  produce  incorrect
              results.

       --noudevsync
              Disables  udev  synchronisation.  The  process  will not wait for notification from
              udev. It will  continue  irrespective  of  any  possible  udev  processing  in  the
              background.  Only  use  this  if  udev  is not running or has rules that ignore the
              devices LVM creates.

       --profile String
              An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending on the command.

       -q|--quiet ...
              Suppress output and log messages. Overrides --debug and --verbose.  Repeat once  to
              also suppress any prompts with answer 'no'.

       --reportformat basic|json
              Overrides  current  output  format  for  reports  which  is defined globally by the
              report/output_format setting in lvm.conf(5).  basic is  the  original  format  with
              columns  and  rows.   If  there is more than one report per command, each report is
              prefixed with the report name for identification. json produces  report  output  in
              JSON format. See lvmreport(7) for more information.

       -t|--test
              Run  in  test  mode.  Commands  will  not  update metadata.  This is implemented by
              disabling all metadata writing but nevertheless returning success  to  the  calling
              function.  This  may  lead to unusual error messages in multi-stage operations if a
              tool relies on reading back metadata it believes has changed but hasn't.

       -v|--verbose ...
              Set verbose level. Repeat from 1 to 4 times to increase the detail of messages sent
              to stdout and stderr.

       --version
              Display version information.

       -y|--yes
              Do  not prompt for confirmation interactively but always assume the answer yes. Use
              with extreme caution.  (For automatic no, see -qq.)

VARIABLES

       VG     Volume Group name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.

       LV     Logical Volume name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.  An LV positional  arg  generally
              includes the VG name and LV name, e.g. VG/LV.

       String See the option description for information about the string content.

       Size[UNIT]
              Size  is  an  input  number  that accepts an optional unit.  Input units are always
              treated as base two values, regardless of capitalization, e.g.  'k'  and  'K'  both
              refer  to  1024.  The default input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.
              UNIT represents other possible input units: b|B is bytes, s|S  is  sectors  of  512
              bytes,  k|K  is  KiB,  m|M  is MiB, g|G is GiB, t|T is TiB, p|P is PiB, e|E is EiB.
              (This should not be confused with the output control --units, where capital letters
              mean multiple of 1000.)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       See  lvm(8)  for  information  about  environment  variables  used  by  lvm.  For example,
       LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a required VG parameter.

EXAMPLES

       Rename "lvold" to "lvnew":
       lvrename /dev/vg02/lvold vg02/lvnew

       An alternate syntax to rename "lvold" to "lvnew":
       lvrename vg02 lvold lvnew
