Better to use the vgimportclone script as it takes care of the
numerous manual steps need to exclude one VG, re-UUID and re-name the
conflicting group.

# vgimportclone --help
Usage: vgimportclone [options] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]
    -n|--basevgname - Base name for the new volume group(s)
    -i|--import     - Import any exported volume groups found
    -t|--test       - Run in test mode
    --quiet         - Suppress output
    -v|--verbose    - Set verbose level
    -d|--debug      - Set debug level
    --version       - Display version information
    -h|--help       - Display this help message

The manual page has more usage details.

Regards,
Bryn.
