Our storage engineer mistakenly removed(deleted) LUN from storage which was belongs to single LUN VG.

Now VG status is available but disk status is unavailable.

 --- Physical volumes ---
   PV Name                     /dev/disk/disk165
   PV Status                   unavailable
   Total PE                    7999
   Free PE                     1
   Autoswitch                  On
   Proactive Polling           On

Try deactivating the VG and then doing a vgexport.

# vgchange -a n vgwhatever

# vgexport vgwhatever
