That kinda worked out. I tried your example as-is, and it still shows

created.
Try excluding all of your sd paths in the filter line. If you look at my
example, it seems my local disk /dev/sda2, my mpath devices and then it hides
everything else. Thats how I got the 'Found duplicate PV' errors to go away.
After setting that, run an lvmdiskscan to verify that its seeing your multipath
devices and excuding the sd devices.
yes, please edit your filter line, so it will ignore the /dev/sd*
devices

mkfs.ext3: Device size reported to be zero. Invalid partition

partition table wasn't reread after running fdisk, due to
a modified partition being busy and in use. You may need to reboot
to re-read your partition table.
try vgchange -a y again after fixing your lvm.conf as explained above.
