NAME

       vgexport - make volume groups unknown to the system

SYNOPSIS

       vgexport  [-a|--all]  [--commandprofile  ProfileName] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-S|--select Selection]
       [-v|--verbose] [VolumeGroupName...]

DESCRIPTION

       vgexport allows you to make the inactive VolumeGroupName(s) unknown to the system.  You can then move all
       the Physical Volumes in that Volume Group to a different system for later vgimport(8).  Most  LVM2  tools
       ignore  exported  Volume Groups.  vgexport clears the VG system ID, and vgimport sets the VG system ID to
       match the host running vgimport (if the host has a system ID).

OPTIONS

       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -a, --all
              Export all inactive Volume Groups.
