I have found that I can' create lvm pool with a name which defers from the LVM VG name.
I have just tried to create pool and start it. Pool was created with no errors/problems (I used command 'pool-define-as POOL_NAME logical --target /dev/VG'), but when I tried to start it - it fails with the following error:

error: Failed to start pool lvm_vm
error: internal error Child process (/sbin/vgchange -aly lvm_vm) status unexpected: exit status 5

When I created pool with a name as VG name, it started with no errors/problems. I consider it as a bug because XML file of the volume pool has different fields for the pool name and corresponding VG name.
