At present it does not seem possible to do so graphically, and the updated version of Anaconda that fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853649 also didn't get included in the Alpha, so it is presently impossible to use LVM. I'm hoping the intention is to make it possible to configure LVM through the graphical interface again as well.

I'd be fine with a separate LVM GUI configuration utility, the problem for me is that anaconda can't be told what to do with an already existing configuration. It insists always on changing everything, even so far as overwriting the partition table even when it's not required (something I find annoying, actually). Instead, I have to build my own kickstart to tell anaconda what to do, and I haven't explored kickstart enough to know if I can tell it to just target an existing configuration without modification, or if it's going to get fussy about this too.
