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.
