yes
A general solution to identify the owning package when one
knows an executable name is to query the databases (there are
several files, which slice and dice the search process) used
by the package manager:
$ yum provides \*/pvcreate
which reveals that:
7:lvm2-2.02.177-4.el7.s390x : Userland logical volume
management tools
Repo : base
Matched from:
Filename : /usr/sbin/pvcreate
so installing 'lvm2' is in order:
# yum install lvm2
That information in those indexing files goes stale as updates
issue, so occastionally one needs to re-fresh the data. The
quickest habit to have to do this is to run:
# yum clean all
