Yes, it would probably be the only solution with a real read-only 
device.

Still, I remember the good old advice to not touch the dm table when 
using LVM (to avoid doing something wrong with the LVM-managed tables) - 
so I would probably be more comfortable using a live media to rename the 
duplicate VG.

Thanks.
