NAME
       vgmerge - merge two volume groups

SYNOPSIS
       vgmerge  [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-l|--list] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] DestinationVolumeGroup-
       Name SourceVolumeGroupName

DESCRIPTION
       vgmerge merges two existing volume groups. The inactive SourceVolumeGroupName will be  merged  into  the  DestinationVol-

       DestinationVolumeGroupName's limits.

OPTIONS
       See lvm for common options.  -l, --list Display merged DestinationVolumeGroupName like "vgdisplay -v".

       -t, --test
              Do a test run WITHOUT making any real changes.

Examples
       "vgmerge -v databases my_vg" merges the inactive volume group named "my_vg" into the  active  or  inactive  volume  group
       named "databases" giving verbose runtime information.
