VGSPLIT(8)

NAME
vgsplit - split a volume group into two

SYNOPSIS
vgsplit [--alloc AllocationPolicy] [-A|--autobackup {y|n}] [-c|--clustered {y|n}] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-l|--maxlogicalvolumes MaxLogicalVolumes] [-M|--metadatatype type] [-p|--maxphysicalvolumes MaxPhysicalVolumes] [-s|--physicalextentsize PhysicalExtentSize[kKmMgGtT]] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] SourceVolumeGroupName DestinationVolumeGroupName PhysicalVolumePath [PhysicalVolumePath...]

DESCRIPTION
vgsplit moves PhysicalVolumePath(s) from SourceVolumeGroupName into DestinationVolumeGroupName. If DestinationVolumeGroupName does not exist, a new volume group will be created. The default attributes for the new volume group can be specified with --alloc, --clustered, --maxlogicalvolumes, --metadatatype, --maxphysicalvolumes, and --physicalextentsize (see vgcreate(8) for a description of these options). If any of these options are not given, the default attribute(s) are taken from SourceVolumeGroupName. If DestinationVolumeGroupName does exist, it will be checked for compatibility with SourceVolumeGroupName before the physical volumes are moved. Logical Volumes cannot be split between Volume Groups. Each existing Logical Volume must be entirely on the Physical Volumes forming either the source or the destination Volume Group.

OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
