+module: lvg
+short_description: Configure LVM volume groups
+description:
+  - This module creates or removes volume groups.
+version_added: "1.1"
+options:
+  vg:
+    description:
+    - The name of the volume group.
+    required: true
+  dev:
+    description:
+    - List of comma-separated devices to use in this volume group.
+    required: true
+  state:
+    choices: [ "present", "absent" ]
+    default: present
+    description:
+    - Control if the volume group exists.
+    required: false
+  force:
+    choices: [ "yes", "no" ]
+    default: no
+    description:
+    - If yes, allows to remove volume group with logical volumes.
+    required: false
+examples:
+  - description: Create a volume group on top of /dev/sda1.
+    code: lvg vg=vg.services dev=/dev/sda1
+  - description: Create a volume group on top of /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc5.
+    code: lvg vg=vg.services dev=/dev/sdb1,/dev/sdc5
+  - description: Remove a volume group with name vg.services.
+    code: lvg vg=vg.services state=absent
+notes:
+  - module does not check device list for already present volume group
