Is there any feature that allows change hard disk names of virtual machines? Unfortunately my fellow created disks on separated storages for few VMs and i can't move them to single storage now because they have same names.

It's been a while since I've done that with LVM. You will need to look closer at renaming LVMs. I would expect you would need to shutdown the VM, rename the LV, change the config file to match, then restart the VM. If you are in a cluster, then you have to run that on the node that owns the VM.
