Creating a new VG on top of existing PVs means wiping all data.

If you just want to access the data, IIRC you should be able to simply
do vgchange -cn VG_name (turn off cluster locking for that VG. See
"man vgchange"). Then (possibly) "pvscan;vgchange -ay"

If you also have some gfs/gfs2 filesystem, you should be able to mount
them with "-o lock_nolock"
