Good evening, Paul.

Thanks but it doesn't work.

Evidently vgrename will not allow me to rename a mounted volume; it 
says "Volume group "VolGroup00" still has active LVs".

If I then go and physically reconnect the second drive (the old FC5 
drive), there is no lvm command that will allow me to see both drives 
AND see their UIDs... the only command that will let me see the UID 
is vgscan, and that one will only see the boot drive (the first 
instance of VolGroup00), not the old FC5 drive (the second instance 
of VolGroup00).
