lvrename — Rename a logical volume

       lvrename renames an existing LV or a historical LV (see lvremove for historical LV information.)

       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.

       Rename "lvold" to "lvnew":
       lvrename/dev/vg02/lvoldvg02/lvnew

       An alternate syntax to rename "lvold" to "lvnew":
       lvrenamevg02lvoldlvnew

       lvrename — Rename a logical volume

-A|--autobackupy|n
              Specifies if metadata should be backed up automatically after a change.  Enabling this is strongly
              advised!  See vgcfgbackup(8) for more information.

       --commandprofileString
              The  command profile to use for command configuration.  See lvm.conf(5) for more information about
              profiles.

       --configString
              Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf(5) settings.  The  String  arg  uses  the
              same format as lvm.conf(5), 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).

       --devicesPV
              Restricts the devices that are visible and accessible to the command.   Devices  not  listed  will
              appear  to  be missing. This option can be repeated, or accepts a comma separated list of devices.
              This overrides the devices file.

       --devicesfileString
              A file listing devices that LVM should use.  The file  must  exist  in  /etc/lvm/devices/  and  is
              managed  with  the  lvmdevices(8) command.  This overrides the lvm.conf(5) devices/devicesfile and
              devices/use_devicesfile settings.

       --driverloadedy|n
              If set to no, the command will not attempt to use device-mapper.  For testing and debugging.

       -h|--help
              Display help text.

       --journalString
              Record information in the systemd journal.  This information is in addition to information enabled
              by the lvm.conf log/journal setting.  command: record  information  about  the  command.   output:
              record the default command output.  debug: record full command debugging.

       --lockoptString
              Used to pass options for special cases to lvmlockd.  See lvmlockd(8) for more information.

       --longhelp
              Display long help text.

       --nohints
              Do  not  use the hints file to locate devices for PVs. A command may read more devices to find PVs
              when hints are not used. The command will still perform  standard  hint  file  invalidation  where
              appropriate.

       --nolocking
              Disable locking. Use with caution, concurrent commands may produce incorrect results.

       --noudevsync
              Disables  udev  synchronization.  The  process  will  not wait for notification from udev. It will
              continue irrespective of any possible udev processing in the background. Only use this if udev  is
              not running or has rules that ignore the devices LVM creates.

       --profileString
              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'.

       --reportformatbasic|json|json_std
              Overrides current output format for reports which is defined globally by the  report/output_format
              setting  in  lvm.conf(5).   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. json_std produces report output in  JSON  format  which  is
              more compliant with JSON standard.  See lvmreport(7) for more information.

       -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.

       -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.)

VG     Volume Group name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.

       LV     Logical Volume name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.  An LV positional arg generally includes the  VG
              name and LV name, e.g. VG/LV.

       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: b|B is
              bytes, s|S is sectors of 512 bytes, k|K is KiB, m|M is MiB, g|G is GiB, t|T is TiB,  p|P  is  PiB,
              e|E  is  EiB.  (This should not be confused with the output control --units, where capital letters
              mean multiple of 1000.)
