Thanks, that is precisely what I was looking for. Only that I did not find it in LVM version 2.00.07 and never thought of looking in something more recent :-\... As to your other comment: at least currently I can very well temporarily unmount one VG while relabeling the copy. But I will test your recommendation anyway.

You can only access one copy at once. Set filters in lvm.conf to switch between them. [Remember always to run vgscan after changing filters.] Then use the XXchange --uuid commands to change one set of UUIDs and vgrename the VG.
