vgexport

vgexport - make volume groups unknown to the system

vgexport [-a/--all] [-d/--debug] [-h/-?/--help] [-v/--verbose] VolumeGroupName [VolumeGroupName...]

vgexport allows you to make the inactive R 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.

See lvm for common options.
