I have seen ADSM and TSM both fail to size /usr correctly during the
installation and the installation subsequently fails to build a running
ADSM/TSM. The main culprits are the *.dsm files for log, db and the disk
pools.  I usually build the TSM server from scratch myself after the
failure but resizing /usr for more free space and an overwrite re-install
do work as well.

Having been caught by this problem 4 or 5 times now, I now cheat by sizing
/usr with 100MB of free space before the install.

AIX should've expanded the /usr file system as needed during installation.
I
don't see how this could've been the problem but the installation did come
back as OK and not FAILED so my assumption was it went ok. Perhaps I'll
install it again and look more closely..
