NAME

       lvm lvpoll — Continue already initiated poll operation on a logical volume

SYNOPSIS

       lvm lvpoll option_args position_args
           [ option_args ]

DESCRIPTION

       lvm lvpoll is an internal command used by lvmpolld(8) to monitor and complete lvconvert(8)
       and pvmove(8) operations. lvpoll itself does not initiate these operations and should  not
       normally need to be run directly.

OPTIONS

       --abort
              Stop processing a poll operation in lvmpolld.

       -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.

       --handlemissingpvs
              Allows  a  polling operation to continue when PVs are missing, e.g. for repairs due
              to faulty devices.

       -h|--help
              Display help text.

       -i|--interval Number
              Report progress at regular intervals.

       --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.

       --polloperation pvmove|convert|merge|merge_thin
              The command to perform from lvmpolld.

       --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'.

       -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

       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.

NOTES

       To  find  the  name  of  the  pvmove  LV  that was created by an original pvmove /dev/name
       command, use the command:
       lvs -a -S move_pv=/dev/name.

EXAMPLES

       lvm lvpoll --polloperation pvmove vg00/pvmove0

       lvm lvpoll --polloperation pvmove --abort vg00/pvmove0

       lvm lvpoll --polloperation convert vg00/lvmirror

       Continue mirror repair.
       lvm lvpoll --polloperation convert vg/damaged_mirror --handlemissingpvs
