You can rename it, but not via GUI.
For syntax : man vgrename
Basic use: vgrename pve pve1
You will also need to update: /etc/pve/storage.cfg
And you may need to restart a few services to recognize the change: systemctl try-reload-or-restart pvedaemon pveproxy pvestatd
Keep in mind that you may have other dependencies where you will need to do a bit more research and few more steps.

Hello @bbgeek17 & Team,
I have added new LVM i.e pve2 from GUI i.e as per screenshot 1 & 2.
But I don't see its entry in /etc/fstab as per screenshot-3.
So do I need to add pve2 in /etc/fstab ?
or I can directly use as it is ? Please suggest/guide here. Thanks

It should NOT be in fstab. You can use it the same way you are using your existing storage - create new VM, point storage location to new storage object.
I have a suspicion that you may be wanting to do something else with your storage. Perhaps expand the one where you ran out of space? But only you can describe your goals.

Thank you @bbgeek17 for helping and guiding here.
As per your question i.e,
I have a suspicion that you may be wanting to do something else with your storage. Perhaps expand the one where you ran out of space?
Answer: No I don't want to expand the volume which out of space. Here I will use pve2 for creating new vms.

Then it seems that you are done. Does "pvesm status" show two LVM type storage entries?
If it does - make sure to point to LVM2 when you are creating future disks

@UK SPEED you dont have "local-lvm", as you can see from the outputs you provided. This is due to you using ZFS as base volume manager and filesystem vs LVM.

I dont see how cluster is related to your storage options
I cant say if you can use "local-lvm" - you'd need to tell us if your root disk is using LVM or if you plan to add another device that LVM will control.
I suggest that you open your own thread and provide relevant information there, including what you want to achieve.
Keep in mind that "local-lvm" is just a label, its not a technology type or special storage. One could create a ZFS storage and call it "local-lvm". It would not be wise though.

The top left corner of the "edit" window says ZFS. NVME is just the label.
Think of it this way:
There are two cars. One is a Ford (LVM), the other is a Mercedes (ZFS). They both work in the similar fashion - they have wheels and drive on the road.
One can take regular gas (hardware raid backed storage), the other comes with a sticker "use of regular gas will void warranty". (dont use ZFS with hardware raid).
Again, I recommend that you open a new thread and state there clearly what your questions and concerns are. So far nothing you posted has anything to do with original thread from 2022
