What in particular is unclear with this message?

LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
hd2 jfs 276 552 2 open/syncd /usr

I verified there is at least 500MB free on the volume group with the command below (there's 700MB free):

[FONT=Times New Roman]# lsvg rootvg
VOLUME GROUP: rootvg VG IDENTIFIER: 0001770a00004c00000001100eb4b862
VG STATE: active PP SIZE: 32 megabyte(s)
MAX LVs: 256 FREE PPs: 22 (704 megabytes)

Your LV is mirrored. LVM is a great tool but it cannot cut 2 times 512 MB (i.e. 1024MB) out of the 704 MB that are available.
