lvdisplay --maps /dev/mapper/MysqlVG-MysqlVol

That'll show you which PVs are used for the LV.  But, just given your 
fdisk output, I'd guess that you're going to find that all of the 
extents are on /dev/cciss/c0d1p1, and watching that will produce exactly 
the same output as watching /dev/mapper/MysqlVG-MysqlVol.

Try it:

iostat -x 2 /dev/mapper/MysqlVG-MysqlVol /dev/cciss/c0d1p1

Or just watch all of your block devices by not naming any:

iostat -x 2
