Thanks! I am afraid that will still not address the issue of how I would partition the drive for the installation.

Don't partition it at all, assign the whole drive as a LVM physical volume.

Is it really possible to boot from 18TB lvm partition? with mbr? with grub?

http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-lvm-diskdruid-ma...

well. no?

"The /boot/ partition cannot reside on an LVM volume because the GRUB boot loader cannot read it"

I think best solution is to slice raid into two volumes in raid manager or install delicated boot disk inside the server, if possible?
