Setup guide

pvcreate /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1
The physical volumes are created, and the command output should be
similar to the following example:
Physical volume "/dev/sdb1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdc1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdd1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sde1" successfully created
TIP You can use the command pvremove to delete any erroneously entered
devices.
3 Verify that the physical volumes were initialized correctly. Type:
pvscan -v
A list of all of the physical volumes you created appears. The following
sample output is for the previous example of 4 physical volumes created
on devices /dev/sdb1 through /dev/sde1:
Walking through all physical volumes
PV /dev/sdb1 lvm2 [2.03 TB / 2.03 TB free]
PV /dev/sdc1 lvm2 [2.03 TB / 2.03 TB free]
PV /dev/sdd1 lvm2 [2.03 TB / 2.03 TB free]
PV /dev/sde1 lvm2 [2.03 TB / 2.03 TB free]
Total: 4 [8.10 TB] / in use: 0 [0 ] / in no VG: 4 [8.10
TB]
4 Create the volume group “vg00” from the physical volumes you created
in the preceding step, using the following command:
vgcreate vg00 <list of volumes>
where <list of volumes> is the list of physical volumes you created
in the preceding step. For example:
vgcreate vg00 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1
TIP You can use the command vgremove to delete any erroneously entered
volume.
5 Verify the volume was created and obtain the value of the “Free PE /
Size” field. Type:
vgdisplay -v
In the output, find the line that contains the “Free PE / Size” field and
write down the value of the “Free PE”. For example, in the following
example output the “Free PE” value is 2124556.
