Identify Disks through LSBLK
Identify Disks through LSBLK

To create disk, use the vgcreate command. Example:
$ vgcreate lvmVG01 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sddOR$ vgcreate localstore /dev/mapper/sdb_crypt /dev/mapper/sdc_crypt /dev/mapper/sdd_cryptThen wait its completion (not status output).

Once everything is done, you may proceed to query the LVM Disk status for double-checking.
That's all for creating new LVM volume.
