How to use pvmove to move specific extents belonging to specific LV's, instead of moving all extents?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

Need to move only specific LV's to a new disk in the VG.

Environment

Currently we have multiple LV's in one VG, spread out over multiple PV's. The below specific LV's should be moved out to a new consolidated location (a new 2 TB size PV called /dev/sdbp), while leaving the rest intact.

Here is the newly added PV to VG vg_appl:

                 pv40 {
                        id = "aaaAAA-12bB-34cC-56dD-78eE-FGHI-Jk9lmn"
                        device = "/dev/sdbp"    # Hint only

                        status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
                        flags = []
                        dev_size = 4294967296   # 2 Terabytes
                        pe_start = 384
                        pe_count = 524287       # 2 Terabytes
