# ll /dev/*/group
crw-r----- 1 root sys 64 0x000000 Apr 13 2002 /dev/vg00/group
crw------- 1 root sys 64 0x020000 Jun 1 2005 /dev/vg_arch/group
crw-r--r-- 1 root sys 64 0x010000 Aug 19 2006 /dev/vgixar/group

This looks to be a HP-UX box and not a linux box. Your request is a little confusing, but here you go:

# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#j
# mkdir /dev/vgir0
# mknod /dev/vgir0/group c 64 0x030000
# vgcreate /dev/vgir0 /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#j
