NAME
       vgmerge - merge two volume groups

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

DESCRIPTION
       vgmerge merges two existing volume groups. The inactive
       SourceVolumeGroupName will be merged into the
       DestinationVolumeGroupName if physical extent sizes are equal and
       physical and logical volume summaries of both volume groups fit into
       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.
