Good day.
If I attach a readonly snapshot of same disk as system disk, I'm getting
message of duplicate ID (obvious, huh). But snapshot is in readonly, so
there is no way to rename it or change ID. Changing ID of system LVM is
not really good idea.
Is any way to get filesystem from snapshoted LVM? Snapshots created by
external storage system.
Thanks.

All you can do then is set up filters so each cmd only sees the disks you
want it to see.
Temporarily, --config lets you do this on each cmdline.
For a permanent setup, another option is to use a separate lvm.conf by setting
LVM_SYSTEM_DIR in the environment.

Good day.
I've check this, but found it ignores new VG with same name.
I've filter system disk out, attach snapshot, allow only snapshot device
to be scanned. Pvscan found pv, vgscan, vgchange -a y all them works
without complains, but no any new /dev/dm* devices appears (and no any
messages in udevadm monitor).
So problem is the same: how to LVM volumes on readonly snapshot on same
machine as original disk.
