man vgrename....

 All  the  Volume  Groups  visible to a system need to have different
names.  Otherwise many LVM2 commands will refuse to run or give warning
mes-sages.

Try by using "vgdisplay" to get the UUID and use the "UUID" to
"vgrename" otherwise start unpluging drive cables to get to the LVM you
need to rename.
