LVM (Logical Volume Manager) - Create an LVM Volume Group using the vgcreate command


This assumes you are familiar with LVM (Logical Volume Manager). If not, check out my article Getting Started with LVM (Logical Volume Manager).

The vgcreate command can be used to create an LVM volume group. In this example, physical volumes /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 are added to a volume group named myVG. This assumes that both /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 have been set up as LVM physical volumes.

~]# vgcreate myVG /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1

 

The vgdisplay command can be used to verify the LVM volume group was created.
