If the code which sets up the hard drive on a client machine is capable
of setting up LVM (and asked to do so), it will partition the drive
something like this:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 19457 156183930 8e Linux LVM
Note the special partition type, 8e.
Then it will create a Volume Group in the LVM partition, most likely
with vgcreate.
Then it will create a number of Logical Volumes within the VG, most
likely with lvcreate.
One LV then gets formatted as a swap area, and the others as Linux
filesystems (ext3, reiserfs, whatever).
So, if the hard drive setup code doesn't contain references to vgcreate
and lvcreate (or recognizable equivalents), then it simply doesn't do LVM.
If you can find references to vgcreate/lvcreate in the source code,
then I'd suggest tracing back to see what has to be in the config file
to invoke them.
(Note: The fdisk output above is from my head node; I'm just going with
the "ide" config file for the clients.)
