[CentOS] is it possible to resive a PV in LVM and add more LV's ?

[Rudi Ahlers]

Hi all
I have a remote server (i.e SSH access only) which was incorrectly
partitioned and I urgently need to get it up and running. It's got a 500GB
HDD, but the PV is only 10GB big, so I can't add more LV's to to. P.S. This
is on LVM, btw.

[root at nd11176 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          33      265041   83  Linux
/dev/sda2              34        1338    10482412+  8e  Linux LVM
/dev/sda3            1339        1860     4192965   82  Linux swap / Solaris

[root at nd11176 ~]# pvscan
  PV /dev/sda2   VG VolGroup00   lvm2 [9.97 GB / 0    free]
  Total: 1 [9.97 GB] / in use: 1 [9.97 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0   ]

[root at nd11176 ~]# vgscan
  Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
  Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2

[root at nd11176 ~]# lvscan
  ACTIVE            '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00' [9.97 GB] inherit



So, my question is, if I extend the Physical Volume, what else do I need
todo in order to add more Logical Volume's?
