I am migrating from an existing installation that was using LVM in raw format for the disk images. I added the VG. While I can modify the conf file for the vm to point to the vm it does not start up. how do I add the existing LV to the storage model?

try adding the volume group via web interface.
Here is my lvdisplay

cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg

Where does the web interface get it's list of valid LVs from, that is what I need to add my old LVs to?

An logical volume need to have the correct naming, and additianolly we set an lvm tag (take a look at a LV created with pve).
