Partition your new hard disk, make a partition a physical volume (pvcreate), extend your volume group (vgextend) , extend your logical volume (lvextend) and resize the file system. Done.

However, xou can mount the new lv to a subdirectory of /usr - but the better (and LVM compliant) way is to extend your existing lv.
