You should always deactivate your LVM volumes before
disconnecting the underlying iSCSI volumes and then when
you reconnect the iSCSI back, activate the LVM volumes
(or if autoactivation is used - meaning use_lvmetad=1
is set in lvm.conf, this activation happens automatically).

Alternatively, you can call vgchange --refresh when the
iSCSI is connected back.
