Setting up LVM during install is there in SuSE and RedHat, but the incantation varies between the two, and from release to release (RHEL7 is very different from RHEL6).
If you are going to clone it, and it tries to default to names that include the computer name, change the names to NOT include the computer name. The general flow of the incantations is: Create /boot as non-LVM. I make it 512M which leaves me some back-pocket space to figure out what happened when the user's fill / to 100%. Create PVs Create VG from PVs.

I figured I could not get around LVM. On x86 LVM is done during the install. I have not figured out a way to do it during install with Linux on z. Well, I gotta do it sooner or later. Thanks, Rich.
