I'm planning to use LVM for KVM, and when I try to create a VG it fails, so how can I create my VG and LV ?

Thanks

[root@server ~]# vgcreate virtual-machines /dev/sda
  Device /dev/sda not found (or ignored by filtering).
  Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sda' to volume group 'virtual-machines'.
[root@server ~]# df -h
