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

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

SYNOPSIS
       lvm lvpoll option_args position_args
           [ option_args ]

DESCRIPTION
       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  di-
       rectly.

USAGE
       lvm lvpoll --polloperation pvmove|convert|merge|merge_thin LV ...
           [ -A|--autobackup y|n ]
           [ -i|--interval Number ]
           [    --abort ]
           [    --handlemissingpvs ]
           [ COMMON_OPTIONS ]

       Common options for lvm:
           [ -d|--debug ]
           [ -h|--help ]
           [ -q|--quiet ]
           [ -t|--test ]
           [ -v|--verbose ]
           [ -y|--yes ]
           [    --commandprofile String ]
           [    --config String ]
           [    --driverloaded y|n ]
           [    --lockopt String ]
           [    --longhelp ]
           [    --nolocking ]
           [    --profile String ]
           [    --version ]

OPTIONS
       --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 set-
              tings.  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.

       --lockopt String
              Used to pass options for special cases to lvmlockd.  See lvm-
              lockd(8) for more information.

       --longhelp
              Display long help text.

       --nolocking
              Disable locking.

       --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 --ver-
              bose.  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 un-
              usual 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 de-
              tail 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
       LV
              Logical  Volume  name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.  An LV posi-
              tional arg generally includes the VG  name  and  LV  name,  e.g.
              VG/LV.

       String
              See the option description for information about the string con-
              tent.

       Size[UNIT]
              Size is an input number that accepts an  optional  unit.   Input
              units are always treated as base two values, regardless of capi-
              talization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer to  1024.   The  default
              input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.  UNIT rep-
              resents 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
       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
       To find the name of the pvmove LV that was created by an  original  pv-
       move /dev/name command, use the command:
       lvs -a -S move_pv=/dev/name.

EXAMPLES
       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
