It'll apply some simple rules to distinguish them (e.g. if one has the current hostname written into its metadata identifying the machine where it was created and the other doesn't it'll select that one), but if it can't tell them apart it will pick one at random (not in the strict sense of that word - in identical external conditions it'll always choose the same one) and use that. [The hostname test is less use than you might think, as many VGs are created with identical hostnames during installation, and others are accessed early in the boot sequence before the hostname has been set.] BTW vgrename accepts the VGID as a parameter.
