CentOS 6 with EPEL enabled and the required RPMs installed.

I have tried to resolve it by recreating the volume, but it does not work.

pvscan PV /dev/sda5 lvm2 [1.73 TiB] Total: 1 [1.73 TiB] / in use: 0 [0 ] / in no VG: 1 [1.73 TiB]

If I create the volume group for it, the software refuses to display anything blocking further use of the software. It is a catch 22.

What was the name of the storagepool? It contains special symbols?

It was named vmpool with no special characters, spaced, or different cases. vmpool wasn't used for anything else on the server.
