lvm – Extending Logical Volume Size Beyond 2TB in CentOS 7

I need to extend the size of the logical volumes in a CentOS 7 system and noticed that the current partition table cannot handle the updated disk size, which is around 5TB:

Disk /dev/sda: 5497.6 GB, 5497558138880 bytes, 10737418240 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk label type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x000bc7c4

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *        2048     2099199     1048576   83  Linux
/dev/sda2         2099200  2147483647  1072692224   8e  Linux LVM

I know that I have to use parted along with GPT but couldn’t find a guideline on how to first change the partition table and then expand the volumes accordingly.

Could you please help me with this?
