I'm new to ADSM and pehaps someone can help me understand a strange
problem(?).   I am running ADSM v3.1 level 1.5 on AIX 4.2.1.  I have an
ADIC Scalar 224 (with two DLT-7000 drives) attached to the system.  I have
defined the library for ADSM.

The tape library can hold 24-tapes and each tape is 30GB.  This gives me a
total of 720GB.  Unfortunately, when I query the storage pool the value of
Estimated Capacity is 18.108TB which is incorrect!  And, to further muddy
the waters, when I query my volumes (which ADSM created dynamically when it
was doing a migration) under my tape storage pool, each of the volumes are
720GB.  Can someone either help me fix this or point me in the right
direction?  Below is the output of the query commands.
