So the important thing there is that /dev/iscsi_raid is not visible (to LVM) on croi-02. Without that, the VG that resides on it is not going to be available to it. Make sure that iscsi_raid is actually available on that node (not just visible, but accessible) and also that it is not excluded by some filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf. Running vgscan will reload the filters and re-create the cache file /etc/lvm/.cache. That latter file shows which devices LVM will scan. If you're sure that the device is available and not filtered out then pvscan --config 'global {locking_type=0}' -vvvvvv and see if you can see in that (long and involved) log file why the device is not being used.
