The rename operation clones a new PV but keeps the old one, not sure if this is a behavior by design or not.
For example, after renaming PV name from "ACC_R2_VAC::CCG07:Ps" to "ACC_R2_VAC::CCG07:Ps_rename_test", "ACC_R2_VAC::CCG07:Ps_rename_test" is created, but "ACC_R2_VAC::CCG07:Ps" is also kept.
