get_volume_group_list() This routine will return an array that
contains the names of the volume groups.
@vgs = get_volume_group_list(); print "@vgs \n";
Would yield the following: vg00
get_volume_group_information($) This routine will return all of
the volume group information about
the specified volume group.
%vg = get_volume_group_information("vg00");
foreach(sort keys %vg) {
