Wrong subforum - there is an AIX forum in here!

Nevertheless:
Before increasing, you should check if you can clean it up and delete some trash files nobody needs anymore. If you can't do that for any reason, add 100 MB for each filesystem with following commands maybe:

Code:
chfs -a size=+100M /
chfs -a size=+100M /stand

If it's not working you might check with lsvg <vgname> (where your filesystems reside on), if there is enough space left in the VG to distribute.

If you are interessted to learn/understand LVM in AIX, check out following LVM Redbook maybe:

pvck

PVCK(8) 						      System Manager's Manual							   PVCK(8)

NAME

       pvck - check physical volume metadata

SYNOPSIS

       pvck [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--labelsector] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]

DESCRIPTION

       pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.

OPTIONS

       See lvm for common options.

       --labelsector sector
	      By  default, 4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for an LVM label, starting at sector 0.  This parameter allows you to specify a
	      different starting sector for the scan and is useful for recovery situations.  For example, suppose the partition table is corrupted
	      or  lost	on  /dev/sda, but you suspect there was an LVM partition at approximately 100 MB.  This area of the disk may be scanned by
	      using the --labelsector parameter with a value of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 204800):

	      pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda

	      Note that a script can be used with --labelsector to automate the process of finding LVM labels.
