Basically, most HDD's are setup the same, but I want to add another HDD to the same server, and use data on both HDD's.
So, do I rename System with vgrename then?
If your wanting to add a new disk to the same volume group and use it then no you don't need to rename anything, you can use the vgextend command after running pvcreate on the new disk to extend the existing volume group to the new disk.
If your wanting to add an existing disk to a system that already has a conflicting volume group name in it, then yes you'll need to vgrename one of them so they do not conflict.
Hmmm. I've not seen vgexport/vgimport mentioned. Will this be needed? I'm not sure for this particular situation.
