The lvol is still mirrored. Consider to use vgreduce -f or use the steps from here:

http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-1236/When_Good_Disks_Go_Bad_WP.pdf

in order to unmirror your lvols from a non-existing disk.

Dear Torsten

The solution is in the 19th page of the document When good disks go bad.

I am very happy. Leaving for the day now. I assigned you points to your earlier posts...
thank you very much.

The PV has been removed from the VG
So lvreduce cant be done using the PV name.

lvdisplay -v -k /dev/vgxx/lvolxx gives the PV key(PV which has stale extents)

lvreduce -m 0 -A n -k /dev/vgxx/lvolxx

This successfully reduced the lvol.

The solution is in the 19th page

Thanks to Torsten!
