-.SH DESCRIPTION
-vgsplit moves one or more physical volumes from
-\fISourceVolumeGroupName\fP into \fIDestinationVolumeGroupName\fP.
-The physical volumes moved can be specified either explicitly via
-\fIPhysicalVolumePath\fP, or implicitly by \fB\-n\fP
-\fILogicalVolumeName\fP, in which case only physical volumes
-underlying the specified logical volume will be moved.
-
-If \fIDestinationVolumeGroupName\fP does not exist, a new volume
-group will be created. The default attributes
-for the new volume group can be specified with
-.BR \-\-alloc ,
-.BR \-\-clustered ,
-.BR \-\-maxlogicalvolumes ,
-.BR \-\-metadatatype ,
-.B \-\-maxphysicalvolumes \fRand
-.BR \-\- [ vg ] metadatacopies
-(see \fBvgcreate\fP(8) for a description of these options). If any
-of these options are not given, default attribute(s) are taken from
-\fISourceVolumeGroupName\fP. If a non-LVM2 metadata type (e.g. lvm1) is
-being used, you should use the \fB\-M\fP option to specify the metadata
-type directly.
-
-If
-.I DestinationVolumeGroupName
-does exist, it will be checked for compatibility with
-.I SourceVolumeGroupName
-before the physical volumes are moved. Specifying any of the above default
-volume group attributes with an existing destination volume group is an error,
-and no split will occur.
-
-Logical volumes cannot be split between volume groups. \fBvgsplit\fP(8) only
-moves complete physical volumes: To move part of a physical volume, use
-\fBpvmove\fP(8). Each existing logical volume must be entirely on the physical
-volumes forming either the source or the destination volume group. For this
-reason, \fBvgsplit\fP(8) may fail with an error if a split would result in a
-logical volume being split across volume groups.
-
-A vgsplit into an existing volume group retains the existing volume group's
-value of \fPvgmetadatacopies\fP (see \fBvgcreate\fP(8) and \fBlvm.conf\fP(5) for further
-explanation of \fPvgmetadatacopies\fP). To change the value of
-\fBvgmetadatacopies\fP, use \fBvgchange\fP(8).

-.SH OPTIONS
-See \fBlvm\fP(8) for common options.
