Hi,

We could help, but exact info is required. There are no 'partitions' in the AIX 
LVM. I assume you mean 'a logical volume greater than 5 GB?' or 'volume group' 
maybe? What is the error message? Is it an AIX error or TSM error? Provide:
lsvg <vg name>
lspv <each disk in array>
lspv -l <each disk in array>

Miles

We trying to set up a TSM server on AIX.  The person setting up the server
is an experienced Unix sysadmin, but is running into a problem defining
partitions on the AIX box.  The disk system is  350 GB RAID5.  When she
tries to set up a partition larger than 5 GB, she gets an error message.
Anyone have any idea of what she might be doing wrong?  Also, does anyone
have suggestions on how best to set up the partitions  (one partition for
both the db/recovery logs and the disk storage pools, separate partitions,
etc.?)  I checked the ADSM-L archives for the last couple of years and did
not see anything on this issue.
