Well Brenda,
of course it is perfectly documented, but i'll tell it anyway.

format new database volumes using the dsmfmt command. Specify the location
of your database volume while entering the command.

lets assume you want to place your db-vol in /tsmdbvol and want to make two
volumes of 4GB in size.
then use : dsmfmt -g -db /tsmdbvol/dsmvol1 /tsmdbvol2 4

After this is completed define the volumes to TSM by entering : define dbvol
/tsmdbvol1 (for each volume)
By now you should be able to delete the default tsm database volumes by
entering : delete dbvol /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/yourvolumes
If your assigned db capacity isn't sufficient, extend or reduce it first,
depending on your situation.

this should do the trick.
