pvcreate and vgcreate were successfully but not the lvcreate again.

Error locking on node prd2: device-mapper: create ioctl failed: Device or resource busy
Now since I don't have device partitions, I don't care about kapartx . Am I correct?

Hi,If the entire LUN is a PV then you don't need to partition it.
I have a 2199GB LUN assigned to my 3 node cluster. Since its >2TB, I used
parted to create the EFI GPT parittion. After that pvcreate and vgcreate
were successfull but I get the following error when doing lvcreate.
You mean don't use parted or any and directly proceed to pvcreate?
If you try to do this on your disks, I'm pretty sure pvcreate will complain/abort because it detects an existing partition table...
Personally, I find GPT partition tables to be annoying... (a) because I have to use "parted", and (b) because they're so difficult to erase from a disk.
If you want to get rid of that GPT partition table, you'll have to zero out (dd if=/dev/zero ...) the first three blocks AND the entire last cylinder of your disk to obliterate all traces of it (there's a backup GPT partition table hiding in the last cylinder).
