Hello.
I'm not sure if this applies to your problem or not, but...
I had very hard times when installing and operating OEL with logical volumes & volume manager. I had to entirely reinstall a server (the second time on filesystems, no more logical volumes from then on) when OEL was not able to find a volume group on boot.
You can read the whole story here (in spanish):
