# CentOS provides a tool called '''system-config-lvm''' to graphically administer LVM.
# This tool may be replaced by a future graphical LVM management tool and is NOT currently available in the default repositories. We will now perform a "work-around" in order to make the system-config-lvm utility work in our system.
# Issue the following command to download the system-config-lvm rpm:<br>:<b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">wget https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/system-config-lvm/1.1.18/1.fc19/noarch/system-config-lvm-1.1.18-1.fc19.noarch.rpm</span></code></b><br>(Although it is an rpm file for the Fedora Distribution, it will also work for Centos7).<br><br>
# Make certain that you are logged in a root.
# Try issuing the command: <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">rpm -i ./system-config-lvm-1.1.18-1.fc19.noarch.rpm</span></code></b><br>You should notice an error.
# Use the '''yum install''' command to resolve the following dependencies:<ul><li>yum install gnome-python2-bonobo</li><li>yum install gnome-python2-gnome</li><li>yum install usermode-gtk</li></ul><br><br>
