I'm doing some LVM stuff (on one disk) already. I'm using only some of
the disk for the OS and leaving the rest available for xen instances.
I attached the file for doing this if you're curious about how to get
LVM going in autoyast.
If you have a situation with sda and sdb ( assume you actually meant
that above vs sda1 and sda2) you could use something based on my
attached file with 2 sections that create the initial LVM devices, one
with:
<device>/dev/sda</device>
and named something like:
