NAME

       vgrename — rename a volume group

SYNOPSIS

       vgrename    [-A|--autobackup    {y|n}]    [--commandprofile    ProfileName]   [-d|--debug]
       [-h|-?|--help]       [-t|--test]       [-v|--verbose]       OldVolumeGroup{Path|Name|UUID}
       NewVolumeGroup{Path|Name}

DESCRIPTION

       vgrename     renames     an    existing    (see    vgcreate(8))    volume    group    from
       OldVolumeGroup{Name|Path|UUID} to NewVolumeGroup{Name|Path}.

       All the Volume Groups visible to a system need to have different  names.   Otherwise  many
       LVM2 commands will refuse to run or give warning messages.

       This  situation could arise when disks are moved between machines.  If a disk is connected
       and it contains a Volume Group with the same name as the Volume Group containing your root
       filesystem  the  machine  might  not  even boot correctly.  However, the two Volume Groups
       should have different UUIDs (unless the disk was cloned) so you  can  rename  one  of  the
       conflicting Volume Groups with vgrename.

OPTIONS

       See lvm(8) for common options.

Examples

       Renames existing volume group vg02 to my_volume_group:

       vgrename /dev/vg02 /dev/my_volume_group

       or

       vgrename vg02 my_volume_group

       Changes the name of the Volume Group with UUID
       Zvlifi-Ep3t-e0Ng-U42h-o0ye-KHu1-nl7Ns4 to VolGroup00_tmp:

       vgrename Zvlifi-Ep3t-e0Ng-U42h-o0ye-KHu1-nl7Ns4 VolGroup00_tmp
