I'm not sure there is a way to 'recover' the volume. By volume, I'm assuming a logical volume that you build a file-system on or give to an application as raw space.

If you have the size, then the easiest way would be to create a fresh one of the right size and then recover the data. If you don't have the size, then create a huge one, restore the data then reduce the size to a suitable one with VxVM tools afterwards.
