Re: vgcreate: Volume group "/dev/vg01" could not be created:Unable to read the physical volume
-s PE size
-e max PE per PV
Its necessary to have these values if you are going to create a huge VG.
you have to carefully read man vgcreate
and for the time being remove vg and recreate with specifying other options.
probably
vgcreate -s 32 -e 10000
-e depends upon ur LUN size.

Re: vgcreate: Volume group "/dev/vg01" could not be created:Unable to read the physical volume
You need to make sure that the Clariion is riunning at least FLARE26 and that the LUN is set for failover mode 4 (ALUA) - if it isn't you do get these sorts of messages out of a Clariion.
Basically your storage team need to read their EMC documentation on supporting HP-UX11iv3
