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,
and --maxphysicalvolumes (see vgcreate(8) for a description
of these options). If any of these options are not given, 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. Specifying any of the above default
volume group attributes with an existing destination volume group is an error,
and no split will occur.
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.
