Put it back in the original box, use lvm export, put in the new box, lvm
import. I have successfully done it like you started, but I had to
jigger and rename the "foreign" HD, IIRC. I'd have to experiment to
recall what/how I did it then.
BTW, don't be afraid to RTFM on LVM. There's lots of useful stuff.
