NAME [Toc] [Back]
vgrestore - restore a VxVM disk group back to an LVM volume group
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
/usr/sbin/vgrestore vg_name
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
The vgrestore command restores a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volume
group that was previously converted to a VxVM disk group by the
vxvmconvert utility.
ARGUMENTS [Toc] [Back]
vg_name
Specifies the name of a volume group that was converted to a VxVM
disk group by the vxvmconvert utility.
EXIT CODES [Toc] [Back]
vgrestore exits with one of the following values:
0 Successful completion.
>0 Failure; an error occurred.
WARNINGS [Toc] [Back]
vgrestore functions only on VxVM disk groups that were converted from
LVM volume groups by the vxvmconvert command.
It is a good idea to back up user data before running vgrestore, and
restore it after the vgrestore completes, as vgrestore can only
restore a logical volume back to the state it was in before conversion
to VxVM. If data changed on the volume while it was a VxVM volume,
the changes won't be reflected on the volume after being restored to
LVM.
As part of the original conversion process, applications that once
referenced the now-converted LVM volume's path names may have changed
to reference VxVM volume special device file names. Alternatively,
special device file path names originally representing the nowconverted
LVM volumes may have changed to symbolic links pointing to
the VxVM volume path names. Be sure to undo these actions when
restoring back to LVM.
Do not use vgrestore unless you are certain that you want to restore
LVM volume groups. After vgrestore this is run, the VxVM disks will
no longer exist.
