After re-formatting the dasd blksize to match the 512 of the fcp disks as following I was able to "unite" them in one LVM.
$ sudo dasdfmt /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.254e
[sudo] password for ubuntu:
Please enter the blocksize of the formatting [4096]: 512
Drive Geometry: 60102 Cylinders * 15 Heads = 901530 Tracks
Device Type: Fully Provisioned
I am going to format the device /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.254e in the following way:
Device number of device : 0x254e
Labelling device : yes
Disk label : VOL1
Disk identifier : 0X254E
Extent start (trk no) : 0
Extent end (trk no) : 901529
Compatible Disk Layout : yes
Blocksize : 512
