You should find some permanent device names for your physical devices (actually regexps) in /dev/disk/by-*, whitelist them and blacklist everything else.

You should remember that you need to blacklist *all* names for given device if you do not want it to appear as PV. The best way I found, again, is to disable everything except what I actually need. Do you use dracut initramfs to boot? It does some lvm-related things by itself from initrd. This is usually enough to mount root volume.
