Hello ADSMers,
I have been trying to define storage pool volumes to equal the physical
size of a 4.5gb SSA drive without much success. Has anyone been able to do
that in the AIX arena?

Our environment is:
AIX 4.2.1
ADSM v2.1.5.18

I defined a logical volume, adsmp1, to be 537 PPs in a 8mb/PP volume group.
I then defined that logical volume as a storage volume to ADSM as follows:
define vol spacemgpool /dev/radsmp1
The definition completes successfully, but when I query the storage pool or
query vols for the storage pool, it only shows as 200mb estimated capacity.
Does anybody know what's going on?
