Alternately, add it to the existing volume group:

# lvextend VolGroup00 /dev/xxx

The advantage to doing this is that you can extend existing logical
volumes as well as create new ones.

BTW, all of this can be done graphically using system-config-lvm (which
is System>Administration>Logical Volume Management on the Gnome menu).
