messed up volume group

[revmarkp]

somehome I've managed to partly delete a VG and now when I want to assign /dev/sdb to it via the datacentre, the gui doesn't list my vg 'storage2'. it shows in pvs, but not in lvs. Help to correct this appreciated for a newb.

I've deleted the node and rebuilt it. When it was standalone, before I rejoined my cluster, the second drive /dev/sdb/ could be seen and accessed as storage by the node OK. When I joined the cluster the storage (LVM) doesn't show under that node anymore. Neither can I see it listed or available as a volume if I try to add it through Datacentre--> storage.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here please? I've clearly done something different with this node compared to my (only) other one which has v similar hardware. Have a done something wrong with the format of this drive perhaps?
