lvm: Create a volume group called vg1 from the physical volume on `/dev/sdXY`.

$ sudo lvm vgcreate ${vg1} ${-dev-sdXY}

try on your machine

The given command is used to create a volume group (VG) using the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) in Linux. Here's the breakdown of the command:

sudo: The command is executed with superuser (root) privileges. It allows the user to perform administrative tasks.
lvm vgcreate: This is the LVM command to create a new volume group.
${vg1}: It is a variable representing the name you want to assign to the volume group. You need to substitute ${vg1} with the actual name you want to use.
${-dev-sdXY}: It is another variable representing the physical volume (PV) or disk partition you want to add to the volume group. In this case, -${dev-sdXY} seems like a typo or incorrect syntax. The dev-sdXY could represent a specific disk, partition, or block device, usually identified by the sdX and Y values. You need to substitute ${-dev-sdXY} with the correct device name.

In summary, the command with the correct variables would be something like:

sudo lvm vgcreate <vg_name> </dev/sdXY>

Replace <vg_name> with the desired name for the volume group, and </dev/sdXY> with the correct device path for your physical volume.
