So, it looks like you copied the disk from aplnx02 itself, and now you're trying to mount the copy on aplnx02. That's probably not going to work particularly well. The problem isn't the volume group name so much as the UUID that gets written to the physical volume (PV) during the pvcreate.
Trying to get around this could get rather complex. If you're up for that, email me off-list, and I'll try to work through it with you. Once we get things working (or give up), we can post what happened back to the list.

Is there any way around that?
