Re: Storage Volume > 2 GB

My understanding is that each DASD volume is a maximum of 2GB in size.
Not a real problem just create more volumes. ADSM spreads the data
appropriately. We are using V3.1 on AIX 4.2.1 and the situation is the
same. You can create the logical volume to be the full 4.5 GB and then
create several DASD ADSM volumes.

| Hello ADSMers,
| I have been trying to define storage pool volumes to equal the physical
| size of a 4.5gb SSA drive without much success. Has anyone been able to do
| that in the AIX arena?
|
| Our environment is:
| AIX 4.2.1
| ADSM v2.1.5.18
|
| I defined a logical volume, adsmp1, to be 537 PPs in a 8mb/PP volume group.
| I then defined that logical volume as a storage volume to ADSM as follows:
| define vol spacemgpool /dev/radsmp1
| The definition completes successfully, but when I query the storage pool or
| query vols for the storage pool, it only shows as 200mb estimated capacity.
| Does anybody know what's going on?
