P2V Conversion on VMWARE - no logical volumes

I recently converted a RHEL5 physical server to a virtual machine using
vmware converter.

Everything ran fine however once I booted the virtual machine, I noticed all
the logical volumes were gone on the

virtual machine. All the mounts are there but no logical volumes or volume
groups.

Is there any way to preserve them? Logical Volumes are an important part of
our systems.

I have tried the conversion using "preserve" and "LSI logic", neither of
them preserve the logical volumes.
