I did this.
Code:
# pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 150G /dev/xvdb5
  WARNING: /dev/xvdb5: Overriding real size. You could lose data.
  Physical volume "/dev/xvdb5" changed
  1 physical volume(s) resized / 0 physical volume(s) not resized

and able to update lvdisplay and vgdisplay now they both show 150gb .

Code:
# vgdisplay
  --- Volume group ---
  VG Name               vg00
  System ID
  Format                lvm2

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19581 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/xvdb1               1       26108   209712478+   5  Extended

# vgmodify
