There are several ways:

* Delete the existing parition table and create a new one that goes from the
same start (the beginning of the disk) to the new end.   Then do pvresize
etc.  You'll usually need to reboot to get the kernel to pick up the new
partition table.

* Add a new partition, do a pvcreate on it and add it to the volume group

* Get a new LUN from the SAN and partition that


I prefer the first option but they're all equally valid and all safe.
