LVM(LVPOLL)                     Red Hat, Inc.                    LVM(LVPOLL)

NAME         top

       lvm  lvpoll  - Continue already initiated poll operation on a logical
       volume

SYNOPSIS         top

       lvm lvpoll option_args position_args
           [ option_args ]

DESCRIPTION         top

       lvm lvpoll is an internal command used by lvmpolld(8) to monitor and
       complete lvconvert(8) and pvmove(8) operations. lvpoll itself does
       not initiate these operations and should not normally need to be run
       directly.

           [    --profile String ]
           [    --version ]

OPTIONS         top

       --abort
              Stop processing a poll operation in lvmpolld.
       -A|--autobackup y|n
              Specifies if metadata should be backed up automatically after
              a change.  Enabling this is strongly advised! See
              vgcfgbackup(8) for more information.
       --commandprofile String
              The command profile to use for command configuration.  See
              lvm.conf(5) for more information about profiles.
       --config String
              Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf
              settings.  The String arg uses the same format as lvm.conf, or
              may use section/field syntax.  See lvm.conf(5) for more
              information about config.
       -d|--debug ...
              Set debug level. Repeat from 1 to 6 times to increase the
              detail of messages sent to the log file and/or syslog (if
              configured).
       --driverloaded y|n
              If set to no, the command will not attempt to use device-
              mapper.  For testing and debugging.
       --handlemissingpvs
              Allows a polling operation to continue when PVs are missing,
              e.g. for repairs due to faulty devices.
       -h|--help
              Display help text.
       -i|--interval Number
              Report progress at regular intervals.
       --longhelp
              Display long help text.
       --polloperation pvmove|convert|merge|merge_thin
              The command to perform from lvmpolld.
       --profile String
              An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending
              on the command.
       -q|--quiet ...
              Suppress output and log messages. Overrides --debug and
              --verbose.  Repeat once to also suppress any prompts with
              answer 'no'.
       -t|--test
              Run in test mode. Commands will not update metadata.  This is
              implemented by disabling all metadata writing but nevertheless
              returning success to the calling function. This may lead to
              unusual error messages in multi-stage operations if a tool
              relies on reading back metadata it believes has changed but
              hasn't.
       -v|--verbose ...
              Set verbose level. Repeat from 1 to 4 times to increase the
              detail of messages sent to stdout and stderr.
       --version
              Display version information.
       -y|--yes
              Do not prompt for confirmation interactively but always assume
              the answer yes. Use with extreme caution.  (For automatic no,
              see -qq.)

VARIABLES         top

       LV
              Logical Volume name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.  An LV
              positional arg generally includes the VG name and LV name,
              e.g. VG/LV.
       String
              See the option description for information about the string
              content.
       Size[UNIT]
              Size is an input number that accepts an optional unit.  Input
              units are always treated as base two values, regardless of
              capitalization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer to 1024.  The
              default input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.
              UNIT represents other possible input units: bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE.
              b|B is bytes, s|S is sectors of 512 bytes, k|K is kilobytes,
              m|M is megabytes, g|G is gigabytes, t|T is terabytes, p|P is
              petabytes, e|E is exabytes.  (This should not be confused with
              the output control --units, where capital letters mean
              multiple of 1000.)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES         top

       See lvm(8) for information about environment variables used by lvm.
       For example, LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a required
       VG parameter.

NOTES         top

       To find the name of the pvmove LV that was created by an original
       pvmove /dev/name command, use the command:
       lvs -a -S move_pv=/dev/name.

EXAMPLES         top

       Continue polling a pvmove operation.
       lvm lvpoll --polloperation pvmove vg00/pvmove0
       Abort a pvmove operation.
       lvm lvpoll --polloperation pvmove --abort vg00/pvmove0
       Continue polling a mirror conversion.
       lvm lvpoll --polloperation convert vg00/lvmirror
       Continue mirror repair.
       lvm lvpoll --polloperation convert vg/damaged_mirror
       --handlemissingpvs
       Continue snapshot merge.
       lvm lvpoll --polloperation merge vg/snapshot_old
       Continue thin snapshot merge.
       lvm lvpoll --polloperation merge_thin vg/thin_snapshot
