LVM is an ok request as long the protection is not also on software level (lvm mirrors)
It will give you a possiblity to migrate it later without interupting the service (if you avalible disks on the machine) using lvmirror or pvmove.
If you do not have disks inside or FC presented, the downtime will only be to plug / or present those disks unlike if you have no LVM you will have to copy the data which requires much more downtime depending on the size of course.

dtc_setup_vps_disk
dtc_setup_vps_disks(8) System Manager's Manual dtc_setup_vps_disks(8)
NAME
dtc_setup_disk - setup LVM disks for using it as a VM
SYNOPSIS
dtc_setup_vps_disk.sh VPS_NUMBER HDD_SIZE SWAP_SIZE [ lvm|loopback ]
DESCRIPTION
dtc_setup_vps_disk.sh This shell script is a part of the dtc-xen package that is to be used by the dtc panel to manage a Xen VPS server.
This script is used to create partitions to be used by a VPS later on. It will create a normal partition that will be used as a root disk,
and a swap partition.
dtc_setup_disk is to be used by the dtc-xen SOAP server, but can also be used as a standalone userland tool.
If the partition(s) exists, then this script will delete it/them first.
OPTIONS
VPS_NUMBER has to be a number between 01 and 19. Let's say the number is 16, and that dtc-xen is configured to use the volume group called
lvm1, then this script will create /dev/lvm1/xen16 and /dev/lvm1/xen16swap.
HDD_SIZE Size in MB of the VPS partition to create.
SWAP_SIZE Size in MB of the VPS swap partition to create. If the dtc-xen SOAP server is used to create the VPS, then it will create a swap
partition of the exact same size as the memory.
IMAGE_TYPE This parameter can have 2 values: either lvm or loopback. If ommited, then lvm is used. If lvm is used, then this script will
create a partition using lvmcreate, otherwise it will create an image file. Both will later be used for the VPS.
EXAMPLE
dtc_setup_vps_disk 04 15360 256 lvm
This will create 2 LVM partition to be used by the VPS named xen04, the first one being a root partition of 15 GB, and the second one being
a swap partition of 256 MB.
VERSION
This documentation describes dtc_setup_vps_disk version 0.3.15. See http://www.gplhost.com/software-dtc-xen.html for updates.
