SYNOPSIS

       vgmerge  [-A|--autobackup  y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-l|--list]

DESCRIPTION

       vgmerge    merges    two   existing   volume   groups.   The   inactive
       SourceVolumeGroupName      will      be      merged      into       the
       DestinationVolumeGroupName  if  physical  extent  sizes  are  equal and
       physical and logical volume summaries of both volume  groups  fit  into
       DestinationVolumeGroupNameā€™s limits.

OPTIONS

       See    lvm   for   common   options.    -l,   --list   Display   merged
       DestinationVolumeGroupName like "vgdisplay -v".

       -t, --test
              Do a test run WITHOUT making any real changes.

Examples

       "vgmerge -v databases my_vg" merges the  inactive  volume  group  named
       "my_vg"  into  the  active  or  inactive volume group named "databases"
       giving verbose runtime information.
