I'm running lvm-1.0.8-9 on RHES3 and am receiving the following when I
try to utilize a volume from an EMC array:
# pvcreate /dev/emcpowera
pvcreate -- invalid physical volume "/dev/emcpowera"
The OS sees the volume fine:
# fdisk -l /dev/emcpowera
Disk /dev/emcpowera: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
I can create a partition and then a filesystem without issue, but I
really need to use it within LVM.
Any ideas?

Clif try to make a partition type linux lvm.. (8e) and after try pvcreate over it
send a output of pvcreate -v /dev/emcpowera
if you complile with debug use pvcreate -dv /dev/emcpowera
send the error leve returns echo $?

try pvcreate /dev/emcpowera1 is for the partition not for the disk...
please summarize

I receive the same for all commands you requested, for example:
# pvcreate /dev/emcpowera1
pvcreate -- invalid physical volume "/dev/emcpowera1"

I don't understand what to try as I'm already running lvm-1.0.8-9? Yes,
that's my comment #37. Any idea what "U5" is in comment #38?

either ditch powerpath or modify the lvm1 source code to understand it,
second is not difficult, just look at the places where dac960 or ciss
support was implemented.

The problem "invalid physical volume" was caused by LVM not recognizing
the volume being called by the path /dev/emcpowera and/or
/dev/emcpowera1. Being that I'm not clustering and I don't need the
functionality provided by EMC's app/wrapper PowerPath, I uninstalled it
and used the standard device name /dev/sdX.
