I have a server that I installed the QMTISO on with 2TB hard drives. I

question is can I run the second drive "independent" of the LVG?

Sure you can.
I strongly recommend though that you use the drives in a raid-1
(mirrored) configuration. That way, you get the benefit of having a copy
of everything on a 2nd drive (I would not call this a backup however),
and the host will continue to run even if/when one drive fails.
I don't think the QMTISO will allow you to do this, but I'm not sure.
You'll need to do a manual/custom HDD configuration for that, which is
fairly easy to do with the CentOS installer (anaconda).
