Combining physical volumes into volume groups

It’s time to create a new VG with the PVs added previously. Before doing that, we can check the VGs available with the vgs command:

[root@rhel-instance ~]# vgs
  VG   #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  rhel   1   2   0 wz--n- <9,00g    0

We can see that only the VG created during the installation of the operating system is available. Let’s create our storage VG with the /dev/vdb1 and /dev/vdb2 PVs or partitions using the vgcreate command:

[root@rhel-instance ~]# vgcreate storage /dev/vdb1 /dev/vdb2
  Volume group "storage" successfully created
[root@rhel-instance ~]# vgs
  VG         #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize    VFree   
  rhel     ...
