Re: Storage Volume > 2 GB

I found out the hard way - through the support center. It took several
days and talking to a few people to get the answer. ADSM support always
seems weak compared to other products from IBM. It seems that many times
when I call with an ADSM question or problem, the people I get don't
really understand how ADSM works.
