Did you remove the disk physically from the server without administrative action an the AIX side? Whenever you are going to remove a disk permanently from an AIX server you need to remove certain pieces of information from the system. You start with the LVM level: stop access to the filesystems, unmount the filesystems, varyoff the VG. Export the VG if you are sure that it will never return (on this particular disk). (Check exportvg and reducevg commands to find out which one applies to you) Then go on by removing the information at the device level: remove the disk's entries from the ODM with rmdev -dl. Only then remove the disk itself. Stick to this sequence as the LVM level commands depend on the ODM entries.
As to the lspv: lspv shows the disks that where available during boot time. Hence it would be better to use lsdev -Ccdisk (or from AIX 5.2 on lsdev -cdisk) to find out which disks are available in the system and whether they are active or defined.

vximportdg
vximportdg(1M) vximportdg(1M)
NAME
vximportdg - import a disk group into the Veritas Volume Manager configuration
SYNOPSIS
vximportdg daname new_dgname
DESCRIPTION
The vximportdg utility performs a temporary import of the disk group contained on the disk device specified by daname to the disk group
specified by new_dgname. As the persistent disk group information is not changed within the private partition of the affected disk, the
import is only valid for the duration of the bootload or until a vxdg deport is performed.
ARGUMENTS
daname Specifies the device name (disk access name) of one of the member disks of the disk group to be imported. The other members are
imported automatically.
new_dgname
Specifies the disk group to be imported.
USAGE
One reason to use the vximportdg utility is to import a second generation of the rootdg disk group so that its objects are available for
use while a system is running on a different rootdg. To prevent volumes on the second generation rootdg from having the same device minor
numbers as volumes (such as rootvol) on the active rootdg, the importation assigns temporary non-conflicting device minor numbers. If this
occurs, vximportdg outputs warning messages detailing the mapping of the minor numbers.
