It is "vgrename" and please use plain test for emails.

John,

Thanks for your note.  I tried to change the name and this is what I get :

[root at SeVi ~]# vgrename /dev/VolGroup00 /dev/SeViGroup00
  Volume group "VolGroup00" still has active LVs
  Internal error: Volume Group SeViGroup00 was not unlocked
  Device '/dev/sda2' has been left open.
  Device '/dev/sda2' has been left open.
  Device '/dev/sda2' has been left open.

Sorry, if my previous note was not plain text .... thought that it was.

I am about ready to regen a new os without the use of LVM, my thought is
that I should be able use that to mount the lvm volumes I am trying to
recover.  If you or others have any other ideas I would appreciate your
help.
