Create three physical partitions:
/dev/sde
/dev/sdf
/dev/sdg
I have allocated all the space to the sde sdf sdg respectively.
Lets create physical volumes out of the partitions we created.
[root@rajcentos ~]# pvcreate /dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg1
Physical volume "/dev/sde1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdf1" successfully created
Physical volume "/dev/sdg1" successfully created
I have named the volume group as raj_vg
[root@rajcentos ~]# vgcreate raj_vg /dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg1
Volume group "raj_vg" successfully created
If you run pvscan:
[root@rajcentos ~]# pvscan
PV /dev/sde1 VG raj_vg lvm2 [48.00 MB / 48.00 MB free]
PV /dev/sdf1 VG raj_vg lvm2 [28.00 MB / 28.00 MB free]
PV /dev/sdg1 VG raj_vg lvm2 [16.00 MB / 16.00 MB free]
PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [7.88 GB / 32.00 MB free]
Total: 4 [7.96 GB] / in use: 4 [7.96 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
Here is the vgdisplay output:

Now create logical volume groups from the "raj_vg"
[root@rajcentos ~]# lvcreate -n lv_one --size 20M raj_vg
Logical volume "lv_one" created
[root@rajcentos ~]# lvcreate -n lv_two --size 20M raj_vg
Logical volume "lv_two" created
[root@rajcentos ~]# lvcreate -n lv_three --size 20M raj_vg

Adding a new physical volume to the volume group. You can use vgextend:
/dev/sdb1 and 2 I have created saperately so that those could be added to the
existing raj_vg.
