hmm... somehow the things you state do not add up to a coherent picture.
You can use the "lsattr -El <device>" command to get more information about a device - such as a disk. If your concern is that the SSD disks are visible at all to the system, then this is the way to go. Notice, though, that you will only see directly connected disks this way. What you have shown is a "virtual SCSI" device. I suppose your LPAR got it from a VIOS. You will not be able to see the properties of the physical disk from the LPAR in this case, because it gets the disk without caring where it comes from (just like a file doesn't care what the filesystem it resides at is made from). You will have to log on to the VIOS (or whatever exports the disk - SAN fabric, ...) and look there.
If you have made sure there is a SSD device your system recognizes as a "hdisk" device you may wonder if it is part of a certain volume group. Issue "lspv" in this case and see all the physical volumes along with the volume groups they belong to.
If you are sure a PV is part of a certain VG and wonder if a certain logical volume is on this PV issue a "lslv -m" to get a map file f the LV.
I am still not sure what you are about (you might consider taking a step back, drink a coffee to come down, then explain what your problem is v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y and concisely), but anyway, i hope this helps.

NAME
lvmpvg - LVM physical volume group information file
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
is an ASCII file that stores the volume-group information for all of the physical volume groups in the system. The information is stored
in a hierarchical format.
First, it starts with a volume group under which multiple physical volume groups can exist. Under each physical volume group, a list of
physical volumes can be specified. There must be at least one physical volume group in each volume group that appears in this file. The
physical-volume-group name must be unique within the corresponding volume group, although it is permissible to use a common physical volume
group name across different volume groups. There can be as many volume groups in this file as there are in the system.
Instead of using the and commands, the administrator can edit this file to create and extend physical volume groups. However, care must be
taken to ensure that all physical volumes to be included in the file have already been defined in their respective volume groups by previ-
ous use of or
The file format has the following structure. and are keywords that introduce the names of the volume group and physical volume group,
respectively.
pv_path
...
pv_path
...
pv_path
...
The variables are defined as follows:
pv_path The block device path name of a physical volume within the volume group.
pvg_name The name of the physical volume group. It must be unique within the volume group.
vg_name The path name of the volume group.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows an file containing two volume groups: the first containing two physical volume groups, each with two physical
volumes defined in it; the second containing three physical volume groups, each with one physical volume defined in it.
