Looks like the mknod script I was using doesn't create all the nodes that
I needed. After a quick read of the Device Drivers manual and a browse of
the archives it dawned on me to run mknod specifically for the dasdaf1
device.
mknod -m 660 /dev/dasdaf1 b 94 125
scodw2:/data/BI_MySql_Scripts # pvcreate /dev/dasdaf
dasdaf dasdaf1
scodw2:/data/BI_MySql_Scripts # pvcreate /dev/dasdaf1
pvcreate -- physical volume "/dev/dasdaf1" successfully created

What is causing this error when I use pvcreate? I thought I remembered
seeing something sometime ago about this --? I've used a mknod script I
found on the list, run mkinitrd and zipl -- ?
I'm stuck.
