5.3. Splitting a Volume Group
In this example procedure, an existing volume group consists of three physical volumes. If there is enough unused space on the physical volumes, a new volume group can be created without adding new disks.
In the initial set up, the logical volume
mylv is carved from the volume group myvol, which in turn consists of the three physical volumes, /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, and /dev/sdc1.
After completing this procedure, the volume group
myvg will consist of /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1. A second volume group, yourvg, will consist of /dev/sdc1.

If the file system is mounted, you must unmount the file system before deactivating the logical volume.Deactivate the logical volumes with thelvchangecommand or thevgchangecommand.
