vgcfgrestore - restore volume group descriptor area
SYNOPSIS
vgcfgrestore [ VolumeGroupName ...]
DESCRIPTION
vgcfgrestore allows you to restore the metadata
of your volume groups from a text backup file produced by vgcfgbackup.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
REPLACING PHYSICAL VOLUMES
vgdisplay --partial --verbose will show you the UUIDs and sizes of
any PVs that are no longer present.
If a PV in the VG is lost and you wish to substitute
another of the same size, use
pvcreate --restorefile filename --uuid uuid (plus additional
arguments as appropriate) to initialise it with the same UUID as
the missing PV. Repeat for all other missing PVs in the VG.
Then use vgcfgrestore --file filename to restore the volume
group's metadata.
