You do not need it because LVM already should do this on its own. vgscan scans all physical devices and creates its own map in /etc/lvmtab. With LVM block devices have symbolic names (/dev/vg00/lvol1) and the physical devices are discovered/associated by their VGDA during vgscan. The physical address should not really matter. I did not actually try this but it should work.
