      Description of problem:
      Normally this may not be an issue, but when faced with two vgs with the same name yet unique vg_uuids, many lvm commands tell the user to use vgrename with --select --uuid to remedy the problem.

      "Fix duplicate VG names with vgrename uuid, a device filter, or system IDs.
      Multiple VGs found with the same name: skipping df
      Use --select vg_uuid=<uuid> in place of the VG name."

      [root@grant-02 ~]# vgs -a -o +vg_uuid
      WARNING: VG name df is used by VGs iOF3n2-cigB-O8G2-f4ok-aM0l-IkeJ-NMaJbI and RigPSs-J95t-rj9o-Loc3-HYpw-JRvj-ZpptUo.
