This is exactly what I am looking at.
A tool virt-manager (from Red Hat does that)
how does it do ?
While installing a guest OS in an LVM I do not have to create a swap I
just point to the ISO on my server
and rest is done.
How is that part taken care of does virt-manager do it or the OS which
is being installed some thing from that makes sure that when you are
installing a guest OS in a virtualization environment then in an LVM
it will do.
Because I never needed to create partitions within LVM until I am
doing this setup to clone the LVM on the server to a
USB backup drive.

That is exactly what I have to do.

I did read and I could not find what I am trying.Can you exactly say
which point or para you see this being done what I asked?
I am not looking to create PV,VG I am trying to have two partitions
within LVM and then use them to populate with what ever I have.
