That is the most likely issue. You need to figure out why MD has taken them (someone must have created MD labels on them???). If you are not interested in what is stored there, you can certainly remove them from mdadm configuration and put them under LVM control but don't expect to get your data back. If you have stored something on them, you better use MD and restore the data before you remove them from MD and place them under LVM.
