For tapes, it used to be possible to rename them by manually writing a
label to them (btape label) and then mangling the SQL database to fit
that (don't forget to restart everything afterwards) but even there,
doing a rename of a volume carrying data wouldn't have worked (needed to
be empty to be sure).
Your best bet is probably to empty the volume and just delete/recreate it.

Manually upgrade your production database.

Perforce version control. Predictably reliable.
