try on your machine

This command is used to display the details of a specified volume group in Linux.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

sudo: This is a command that grants administrative privileges to the user running it. It allows you to execute commands with root privileges.
vgdisplay: This is the command to display information about volume groups (VGs) in Linux. It retrieves and prints various details about the specified volume group, such as its name, size, number of physical volumes, and number of logical volumes.
${vg1}: This is a variable that represents the name of the volume group you want to display. The ${vg1} is the placeholder for the actual volume group name. You need to replace ${vg1} with the actual name of the volume group when running the command.

Overall, the command sudo vgdisplay ${vg1} with the appropriate volume group name specified in place of ${vg1} would show detailed information about the particular volume group.
