Create Logical volumes with lvm.yml in all nodes according to following

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Create a new Logical volume named as 'data'
* LV should be the member of 'research' Volume Group
* LV size should be 1500M
* It should be formatted with ext4 file-system.
--> If Volume Group does not exist then it should print the message "VG Not found"

* Create a playbook called gen_hosts.yml that uses this template to generate the file
/etc/myhosts on hosts in the dev host group.
* When completed, the file /etc/myhosts on hosts in the dev host group should have a
line for
each managed host:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
172.25.250.10 serevra.lab.example.com servera
172.25.250.11 serevrb.lab.example.com serverb
172.25.250.12 serevrc.lab.example.com serverc
172.25.250.13 serevrd.lab.example.com serverd

--> Create a playbook called httpd.yml that uses this role and the playbook runs on
hosts in the webservers host group.
