Sure there is. Unmount all filesystems in the vg, then run an exportvg on that volume group, then run an importvg -y NewVGName hdiskXX to bring the configuration in under the new name. Then you can mount all your FS's back.

or in a script:

chlv -n newname oldname

but you can find that out by running it in smit and then tail -4 /smit.script

try this as well

chlv -n NewLogicalVolume LogicalVolume
you need to umount filesystem on that particular lv.

Good luck...
