Red Hat & SCSI HDD Help!


Ok so I have...

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 8)
Kernel 2.4.21-47.ELsmp on an i686

And what I am trying to do is to create a virtual device with LVM..
How can I do that?

when I do df -h I get the following...

Code:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/Volume00/root   1008M  434M  524M  46% /
/dev/sda1              99M   27M   67M  29% /boot
/dev/Volume00/data01   99G   64G   31G  68% /data01
/dev/Volume00/data02   99G   81G   13G  87% /data02
/dev/Volume00/home    3.0G  1.5G  1.4G  53% /home
none                  2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /dev/shm
/dev/Volume00/pti     2.0G  1.6G  297M  85% /pti
/dev/Volume00/tmp     496M   11M  460M   3% /tmp
/dev/Volume00/usr     3.0G  2.3G  585M  80% /usr
/dev/Volume00/var     756M  186M  533M  26% /var

When I do fdisk -l I get

Code:
/dev/sda1   *         1        13    103981+  83  Linux
/dev/sda2            14      1193   9441180   82  Linux swap
/dev/sda3          1194     35838 277194645   8e  Linux LVM
If I am not mistaken data01 and data02 are virtual devices correct?
I am trying to create one just like data01 with the remaining space available in my RAID.
Also thats another questions I have if the RAID manager shows 5 SCSI drives at 72GIGs why doI have 3 listed in fdisk?

Thank You in advance!!!
