I guess he tried to move a disk to a new one by exporting the volume
group, moving the data onto the new disk and importing that one. I guess
the solution would be to import the volume group from the old disk 
(assuming the data is still available on it) and using pvcreate, 
vgextend and pvmove to get the data on the new disk, the use vgreduce
to remove the pv of the old disk and remove it from the system.
