The partition ID for Linux LVM is 8e, reported by fdisk.
$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

LVM is an abstraction layer on top of the storage device to make it easier for you to manage it. I'm not sure what information beyond what fdisk provides you want, because the partition ID for LVM is displayed. However, for additional information about LVM logical volumes, you can use 'lvscan', 'lvs' and 'lvdisplay'.
$ sudo lvscan

ACTIVE '/dev/ops1test/swap_1' [388.00 MB] inherit
$ sudo lvs

Similarly, you can learn information about the volume group itself with 'vgscan', 'vgs' and 'vgdisplay'.
$ sudo vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...

You have a faulty drive and will need to replace it. Right now you have no redundancy anyway, as the two drives will not stay synced, so if there is going to be any delay in replacing the drive at least disable it, as that will restore the performance.

You cannot extend the Boot or System volumes. You can extend the rest of the partitions (if they have enough space) using DiskPart - see: http://ss64.com/nt/diskpart.html
If this is to increase the size of the C: drive, I would suggest you review this web page for methods of reorganizing your server data - the C: drive doesn't need to be that big if the server is managed appropriately. http://www.lwcomputing.com/tips/static/bootdrivesize.asp
