You need to exclude the LVs in the host VG from being scanned for sub-VGs. It's actually easier to just list what SHOULD be scanned rather than what shouldn't.

Look in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf

This worked, thanks.  A couple of people emailed me separately on this.  For others' reference, I added the following filter to lvm.conf on dom0 and disabled the default "get everything" filter.  If anyone sees any pitfalls with this regex, I'm sure you'll let me know.

(assuming your physical disks are sas/sata)

filter = [ "a/^/dev/sd*/", "r/.*/" ]

For all HDs this should work:

filter = [ "a/^/dev/[hs]d*/", "r/.*/" ]

Run a 'vgscan -vv' to test.
