       vgcfgrestore - restore volume group descriptor area

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

DESCRIPTION
       vgcfgrestore  allows you to restore the metadata of your volume groups
       from a text backup file produced by vgcfgbackup.

OPTIONS
       See lvm for common options.

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  --restore-
       file  filename  --uuid uuid (plus additional arguments as appropriate)
       to initialise 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.
