Anything special I have to take care if I make a transition from
lvm 0.8 to lvm 1.0?
Otherwise I would do the same as described in
http://www.sistina.com/lvm_howtos/lvm_howto/Moving_a_volume_group_to_.html

In case you just want to update your LVM software, you don't need to
vgexport/vgimport your VGs as described under that URL.
Presuming that you took backups of your data and metadata (/etc/lvmconf/*)
and don't have root on a LV, you just need to install the new LVM software
(take LVM 1.0.3!), and run "vgscan;vgchange -ay" after the successfull
installation and reboot. "vgscan;vgchange -ay" is probably in your system
startup script anyway.
To be save, you could copy your LVM 0.8 software to /sbin/lvm-0.8 (tools) and
/lib/lvm-0.8 (library) respectively. Make your LVM 0.8 capable kernel
bootable too.
With these preperations, you still can boot into single user for LVM 0.8
recovery in case something goes wrong.

Yes root is on a LV on RAID1 and the data is on a LV on another RAID1

Therefore I will install a new system and I'll just take the disks
that belong to /dev/md3 and put them in this new system. So I'll
have the old system to put the disks back if anything goes wrong
in the new system.
In the new system I just need to pvmove the the data onto the new
disks, this time hardware RAID instead of software RAID, so no
fancy stuff to get lilo boot with root on LV.
So how should I do it, just "vgscan;vgchange -ay" or do I need to
vgexport/vgimport and will this cause troubles?

If you want to move the devices over to another system, vgexport+vgimport
is the recommended way to go.

So you mean that there are no known problems with
vgexport (lvm 0.8) and vgimport (lvm 1.0)
