If you have multiple partitions, such that you can put the ISO on one
and do the initial installation into LVM on the other, then once you
have the new installation up and running, you can format the old
partition (with the ISO on it) as an LVM physical volume and add it
to your volume group to end up with a volume group pretty much the
same as if you'd installed with just one larger PV.
