Or When I setup a system I try to separate data that doesn't belong together as far as possible to get maximum protection from software and/or hardware faults. Multiple VGs increase chances to let other applications in different VGs continue to work if a PV in one VG fails. Of course if a system only has one application or if it doesn't make sense to split up the disks into multiple VGs then create a single VG only. So maybe having multiple VGs is useful on large servers only.
