The explanation is pretty simple:
1. TSM is installed using raw Logical Volume (LV).
2. I would guess /dev/rtsmvglv11 is DB or Log volume (if it was diskpool
TSM ought to start and have the volume offline).
3. Someone have enlarged the logical volume using "chlv" command in AIX -
look at the difference between new and old capacity (999424 - 983040 =
16384).
4. Richard might be correct that happened long before restart and you
cannot identify who and when did it.

How to cure this:
A.(supported) restore from last DB backup. Look in volhistory file -
default is /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/volhist.out, non-default is
specified by VOLUMEHistory option of dsmserv.opt. Later use "dsmserv
restore db" (described in Administrator's Reference, Appendix A)

B. (unsupported and with no guaranteed success)
- create new logical volume using AIX command "mklv" (count carefully its
size - ought to be as before change; use output of "lslv tsmvglv11" as
guidance)
- copy the contents using AIX command "dd if=/dev/rtsmvglv11 of=/dev/r<new
LV name>"
- rename old LV (I prefer not to delete it) using AIX command "chlv -n
<temporary name> tsmvglv11"
- rename new LV with "chlv -n tsmvglv11 <new LV name>"
- try to start TSM server
- on success report to the list ASAP :-)

If you can afford some lost backups option A is the correct one. If you
have some time try option B first and on failure continue with A.
