Greetings;
Head on over to
http://www.sistina.com/products_lvm.htm
and you can get everything you need to install LVM.
I did it a few months ago and it was a fairly easy install and
the people there were very helpful with the couple of minor
problems I had.
Good Luck!
Dennis

LVM and md (the multidisk layer) are two things. lvm deals with dynamic
reassignment of space which is a nice thing to have. The md layer deals
with raid 0 1 and 5. With md you can concatenate and stripe volumes. You
can also do raid 1 and 5 although on S/390 I find it hard to see why you
would do that at the Linux level
