VGRENAME(8)							   VGRENAME(8)

NAME
       vgrename - rename a volume group

SYNOPSIS
       vgrename	 [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-t|--test]
       [-v|--verbose] OldVolumeGroup{Path|Name|UUID} NewVolumeGroup{Path|Name}

DESCRIPTION
       vgrename renames an existing (see vgcreate(8) ) volume group from  Old‐
       VolumeGroup{Name|Path|UUID} to NewVolumeGroup{Name|Path}.

OPTIONS
       See lvm for common options.

Examples
       "vgrename /dev/vg02 /dev/my_volume_group" renames existing volume group
       "vg02" to "my_volume_group".

       "vgrename vg02 my_volume_group" does the same.

       "vgrename    Zvlifi-Ep3t-e0Ng-U42h-o0ye-KHu1-nl7Ns4     VolGroup00_tmp"
       changes	the  name of the Volume Group with UUID Zvlifi-Ep3t-e0Ng-U42h-
       o0ye-KHu1-nl7Ns4 to "VolGroup00_tmp".

       All the Volume Groups visible to a system need to have different names.
       Otherwise  many	LVM2  commands will refuse to run or give warning mes‐
       sages.

       This situation could arise when disks are moved between machines.  If a
       disk  is connected and it contains a Volume Group with the same name as
       the Volume Group containing your root filesystem the machine might  not
       even  boot  correctly.  However, the two Volume Groups should have dif‐
       ferent UUIDs (unless the disk was cloned) so you can rename one of  the
       conflicting Volume Groups with vgrename.
