SYNOPSIS
vgcfgrestore [-d|--debug] [-f|--file <filename>] [-l[l]|--list]

DESCRIPTION
vgcfgrestore allows you to restore the metadata of VolumeGroupName from
a text backup file produced by vgcfgbackup. You can specify a backup
file with --file. If no backup file is specified, the most recent one
is used. Use --list for a list of the available backup and archive
files of VolumeGroupName.
OPTIONS
See lvm(8) for common options.
-l, --list
List files pertaining to VolumeGroupName List metadata backup
and archive files pertaining to VolumeGroupName. May be used
with the -f option. Does not restore VolumeGroupName.
-f, --file filename
Name of LVM metadata backup file Specifies a metadata backup or
archive file to be used for restoring VolumeGroupName. Often
this file has been created with vgcfgbackup.
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 ini-
tialise 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.
