Oki, I managed to pvcreate my new sdh1, and then a vgcfgrestore.

        vgcfgrestore -f /etc/lvmconf/vg1.conf -n vg1 -o /dev/sdg1 /dev/sdh1

This went ok, but 'pvscan -u' is behaving (?) strangly...

[papadoc.root]# pvscan -u

Running vgscan (as directed) gives me:

----- s n i p -----
[papadoc.root]# vgscan 
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

Ideas how to get my VG up and running again?
