Itis a confusing message, but I finally figured it out.

Try this:

    ls -l /sbin|grep lvm

You'll see that all lvm commands (vgscan etc) are symlinked to lvm.

You'll also see there's an "lvm.static" command.

So if you want to run one of the lvm commands in static mode, you
probably have to change its symlink to point to lvm.static instead of
lvm.

There may be other similar lvm commands, I do not know.  A similar ls
-l|grep for "static" shows other commands, but I do not think they are lvm.

That's all.  Simple once you see it :-)
