Is there any way to split one VG into two?

Anybody knows how to split one VG (maybe vg00) into
two VGs. Of course the vg that needs to be splited up must contain at least
two or more physical disks.

There's no way to do so, or could you be more specific?
Do you mean, a volume group with two or more disks?

There is no way you can split.

One thing you can try is to move the data in the PV to other PV if it is empty and then you can remove from the current VG and then create one more VG with those disks removed from the original.

you can use 'pvmove' and 'vgreduce' commands for this purpose.
