Yes, Paraview does not directly read HDF5. It needs you to tell it what the
data in the HDF5 file means. You do
this by creating a *.xdmf file, which is XML. We provide a tool

  $PETSC_DIR/bin/petsc_gen_xdmf.py <HDF5 file>

which should automatically produce this file for you. Let us know if it
does not work.

  Thanks,
