Use pvcreate to initialize the physical volume and tell it what drives/partitions to use
pvcreate /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 Use vgcreate to create a named volume group from those same drives/partitions
vgcreate root_vg /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 Use lvcreate to create the logical volume on the volume group(Using 100% of the free space)
lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n root_lv root_vg Then apply whatever file system you want to the logical volume
mkfs.ext4 -L / /dev/root_vg/root_lv
