[linux-lvm] Recovering a volume after OS upgrade (lost /etc/lvm*)

I just upgraded a system to RedHat 7.2 (+ XFS from SGI) (lvm-1.0.1RC4),
and I'm trying to mount a LVM-based logical volume created using LVM
0.9mumble. The volume group consisted of a single PV on opt of a
software RAID5 device.
pvscan says:
pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
pvscan -- WARNING: physical volume "/dev/sda" belongs to a meta
device
pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/md0" is associated to an unknown VG (run
vgscan)
pvscan -- total: 2 [8.48 GB] / in use: 2 [8.48 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0]
And pvdisplay says:
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/md0
VG Name vg0
PV Size 8.48 GB / NOT usable 2.75 MB [LVM: 129.00 KB]
PV# 1
PV Status NOT available
Allocatable yes (but full)
Cur LV 1
PE Size (KByte) 4096
Total PE 2169
Free PE 0
Allocated PE 2169
PV UUID HHv1Tm-79Hx-uk4m-caqb-QUA5-8WGF-0yUe4Q
Which looks great. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to
turn this back into a valid volume group. Vgscan doesn't pick up this
device:
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created
vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your
volume group
How do I recover this volume?
Thanks,
-- Lars
