Rui,

This is a known problem.

APAR IX76272 has been open opened against the ADSM server SQL VOLUMEUSAGE table.
The service level (PTF) that contains the fix for this APAR will correct the
problem you are
experiencing.

P.S.  Would someone please let me know if this message does not come out
formatted correctly at your end ?  Thanks

I've been postponing this issue, but since we're at it:

On the few time I tested SELECT * FROM VOLUMEUSAGE, I got some very
inconsistent results. I just did "SELECT VOLUME_NAME FROM VOLUMEUSAGE WHERE
NODE_NAME='HOBBES'"

VOLUME_NAME
------------------
ARCH03
ARCH03
ARCH04

Now, this is not even near what it should be. "SHOW VOLUMEUSAGE HOBBES"
looks closer to reality, but not quite right:

SHOW VOLUMEUSAGE started.
  Volume BACK01 in use by node HOBBES.
  Volume BACK02 in use by node HOBBES.
  Volume BACK03 in use by node HOBBES.
  Volume ARCH03 in use by node HOBBES.
  Volume BACK06 in use by node HOBBES.
  Volume BACK04 in use by node HOBBES.
  Volume BACK05 in use by node HOBBES.
SHOW VOLUMEUSAGE completed.

As we can see, "SELECT ... VOLUMEUSAGE" says that node HOBBES is using
volume ARCH04, while "SH VOLU" shows no such thing. By issuing "QUERY
CONTENT ARCH04 NODE=HOBBES" I can see that node HOBBES is indeed using
ARCH04. Also, Q CONT shows me that every other volume listed is used by node
HOBBES. But it also shows me that volume ARCH01 has files from node HOBBES,
though it does not appear it the output of either command.

What gives?

BTW: ADSM Server (AIX) is 3.1.0.2, Admin client (AIX) is 3.1.0.1
