.SH NOTES .IP \[bu] 3 To replace PVs, \fBvgdisplay \-\-partial \-\-verbose\fP will show the UUIDs and sizes of any PVs that are no longer present. If a PV in the VG is lost and you wish to substitute another of the same size, use \fBpvcreate \-\-restorefile filename \-\-uuid uuid\fP (plus additional arguments as appropriate) to initialise it with the same UUID as the missing PV. Repeat for all other missing PVs in the VG. Then use \fBvgcfgrestore \-\-file filename\fP to restore the volume group's metadata.
