I have not come across that particular message.
But this link gives you the instructions to follow.
Essentially it sounds like the old disk used an older OS version.
From looking at the instructions, the "vgck" command is needed.
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5906681
Note that the instructions will update the VG to work with a modern OS.
After doing that vgck, you will probably not be able to place the disk back
in the old machine and it work, if the old machine is still around.
