One question - you did the encryption on the raw block device (/dev/md1) and then created LVM volumes within it. Any reason you didn't do it the other way around. Eg, make /dev/md1 the PV in a VG, and then encrypt individual LVM logical volumes. There shouldn't be any real difference in securitywith the latter way, and it would remove the need to run 'vgscan' after running the luksOpen command. It would also let you use difference LUKS passwords on a per-VM basis if desired.
