Error description
dsmfmt/define volume will not create a volume larger than 9TB in size nor any combination of volumes exceeding a total size of 9TB when the volumes are created in a logical volume that is greater that 17TB in size. The error presented is 'insufficient space available'. The problem is caused by a calculation error in the dsmfmt program.
