You can activate what's left of the volume group with:
vgchange --partial -ay <VolGroup>
You can remove the missing PV from the VG with:
vgreduce --removemissing <VolGroup>
Note that this will also remove any logical volumes that were using the
missing physical volume. You can run it with --test first to see what
effect it will have.
