Gene is exactly right on this one. I also wrestled with the problem for a
few weeks with IBM support till we found it.

        Look in /usr/lpp/adsmserv/bin.   There are 2 binaries called
dsmfmt.42
        and dsmserv.42.   These are required to support >2GB volumes.   You
        should have dsmserv as a symlink to dsmserv.42 and dsmfmt a symlink
to
        dsmfmt.42.   I had exactly this problem because I upgraded the ADSM
        system to AIX 4.2 *AFTER* installing ADSM.   If you use raw logical
        volumes (I do), you don't have to worry about dsmfmt.   If you
decide to
        use JFS for anything >2GB, you must define the filesystem as "large
        file enabled".
