+.SH NOTES
+.
+.IP \[bu] 3
+vgexport can make inactive VG(s) unknown to the system. In this state,
+all the PVs in the VG can be moved to a different system, from which
+\fBvgimport\fP can then be run.
+
+.IP \[bu] 3
+Most LVM tools ignore exported VGs.
+
+.IP \[bu] 3
+vgexport clears the VG system ID, and vgimport sets the VG system ID to
+match the host running vgimport (if the host has a system ID).
