I've recently extended our lvm2 Puppet module with the vgextend feature.

Below is what I've come up with. There are a Puppet file and a bash script for checking if VG needs to be extended.

You have to define VG name and PVs in the node YAML file.

vgextend.pp

# Extend an LVM Volume Group (VG)

# === Parameters
# [*name*]
#   Volume Group Name
#
# [*physicalvolumes*]
#   Array of physical volumes (PV) to extend the VG

define lvm2::vgextend($physicalvolumes) {

  validate_array($physicalvolumes)

  include '::lvm2'

  $pv = join($physicalvolumes,' ')
  $onlyif_check = $::lvm2::vg_onlyif_check
  $cmd = "${onlyif_check} apply ${name} ${pv}"
  $pipe = $::lvm2::dryrun_pipe_command
  $command = $::lvm2::dryrun ? {
    false   => $cmd,
    default => "echo '${cmd}' ${pipe}",
  }

  exec { "extend_volume_group_${name}" :
    command => $command,
    path    => '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin…
