check whether this disk is available in your system.

Probably, this disk might have removed from SAN.

If you can't find this disk in your ioscan output, make a backup of your lvmtab and do vgscan to create new lvmtab file.

Also, verify, your lvlnboot -v command displays without any issue.

If you can't see this disk, since other pvlinks available, need to remove the device file using rmsf command.

Make sure, the disk availability.
