I would like to thank everyone to helping.
Looks like it is working. Here is the action:
With Live GParted, reduce sda5 to minimum ~ 60GB.
Create new partition, sda6 ~420GB.
Booted back to Debian.
pvcreate /dev/sda6
vgcreate xenvg /dev/sda6
lvcreate -l +100%FREE xenvg -n xenlv
mkfs.ext4 -m 0 /de
Then you must reduce /dev/sda5 with whatever partitioning tool, to a
size of at least the PV size, 55 GiB (*not* 55 GB which is only 51.2
GiB, beware if using parted). In the free space on the disk you can
create a new partition.
That is why I recommended using complete sizes in bytes.

Hmm. Not sure wha that means. Was there anothed disk in the VG ?

According to "man lvm", to add a physical volume to a volume group, the
right command is "vgextend" (the name is because you make a volume group
(VG) larger by adding more storage space for it, in a new physical
volume). To create a new volume group, the command is "vgcreate". But if
you want t
Mario,
Thank you for the review.
Yes, there is free space in the LVM. I have gone through the manual many times
(today and the last several months) and don't see a method to add a pv or vg.
It seems to add a pv, it needs a device. And to add a vg, it needs a pv. How
can I add either?
