dsmfmt msg: Insufficient space available for file

[DusktilDawn]

I created a file system with at least 20GB on a new LV, and am trying to use the dsmfmt command to create a DB volume worth 15GB in AIX before defining it in TSM, but I keep getting the error "Insufficient Space Available for file..." What is the solution here? Any assistant will be greatly appreciated.

What version of TSM?
What's the exact command you used?

 

[DusktilDawn]

He, currently as TSM version 5.4. The command I used:
dsmfmt -m -db /dev/tsmhome/dbfs/file01 10240. The file system is worth 20GB.

I need this to be done, so that I can go in TSM and define a new DB volume and extend it accordingly. Anyway to know what I am doing wrong will be much appreciated.

Can you send df -k?

Is the AIX filesystem jfs or jfs2?
jfs has a 2GB limit if I remember correctly unless it's created with big file enabled flag.

Hi, sorry for the late response. I got it resolved where the command was not really required unless TSM is down, so I did not bother using that command after all. The AIX fs is jfs2.
