PVCHANGE(8) System Manager's Manual PVCHANGE(8)
pvchange - Change attributes of physical volume(s)
pvchange option_args position_args
[ option_args ]
pvchange changes PV attributes in the VG.
For options listed in parentheses, any one is required, after which
the others are optional.
Change properties of all PVs.

[ COMMON_OPTIONS ]
Common options for command:
[ -A|--autobackup y|n ]
[ -f|--force ]
[ -u|--uuid ]

[ -v|--verbose ]
[ -y|--yes ]
[ --commandprofile String ]
[ --config String ]

[ --longhelp ]
[ --profile String ]
[ --version ]
--addtag Tag
Adds a tag to a PV, VG or LV. This option can be repeated to
add multiple tags at once. See lvm(8) for information about
tags.
-a|--all
Change all visible PVs.
-x|--allocatable y|n
Enable or disable allocation of physical extents on this PV.
-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).
--deltag Tag
Deletes a tag from a PV, VG or LV. This option can be repeated
to delete multiple tags at once. See lvm(8) for information
about tags.
--driverloaded y|n
If set to no, the command will not attempt to use device-
mapper. For testing and debugging.
-f|--force ...
Override various checks, confirmations and protections. Use
with extreme caution.
-h|--help
Display help text.
--ignoreskippedcluster
Use to avoid exiting with an non-zero status code if the
command is run without clustered locking and clustered VGs are
skipped.
--longhelp
Display long help text.
--metadataignore y|n
Specifies the metadataignore property of a PV. If yes,
metadata areas on the PV are ignored, and lvm will not store
metadata in the metadata areas of the PV. If no, lvm will
store metadata on the PV.
--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'.
--reportformat basic|json
Overrides current output format for reports which is defined
globally by the report/output_format setting in lvm.conf.
basic is the original format with columns and rows. If there
is more than one report per command, each report is prefixed
with the report name for identification. json produces report
output in JSON format. See lvmreport(7) for more information.
-S|--select String
Select objects for processing and reporting based on specified
criteria. The criteria syntax is described by --select help
and lvmreport(7). For reporting commands, one row is
displayed for each object matching the criteria. See
--options help for selectable object fields. Rows can be
displayed with an additional "selected" field (-o selected)
showing 1 if the row matches the selection and 0 otherwise.
For non-reporting commands which process LVM entities, the
selection is used to choose items to process.
-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.
-u|--uuid
Generate new random UUID for specified PVs.
-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.)
PV
Physical Volume name, a device path under /dev. For commands
managing physical extents, a PV positional arg generally
accepts a suffix indicating a range (or multiple ranges) of
physical extents (PEs). When the first PE is omitted, it
defaults to the start of the device, and when the last PE is
omitted it defaults to end. Start and end range (inclusive):
PV[:PE-PE]... Start and length range (counting from 0):
PV[:PE+PE]...
Select
Select indicates that a required positional parameter can be
omitted if the --select option is used. No arg appears in
this position.
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.)
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.
Disallow the allocation of physical extents on a PV (e.g. because of
disk errors, or because it will be removed after freeing it).
