. .SH NOTES . 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 VG's metadata.
