Adds physical volumes to a volume group.
extendvg [ -f ] VolumeGroup PhysicalVolume ...
The extendvg command increases the size of VolumeGroup by adding one or more PhysicalVolumes.
The physical volume is checked to verify that it is not already in another volume group. If the system believes the physical volume belongs to a volume group that is activated, it exits. But if the system detects a description area from a volume group that is not activated, it prompts the user for confirmation in continuing with the command. The previous contents of the physical volume are lost, so the user must be cautious when using the override function.
| -f | Forces the physical volume to be added to the specified volume group unless it is a member of another volume group that has been activated by the activatevg command. |
