in the future I would post a question like this in the AIX forum.
it reads exactly as you see in lsvg output. ~11GB
176 (11264 megabytes) FREE PP*PP SIZE
keep in mind when you add space to a file system it will be done in 64MB chucks. for example if you needed to add 100MB to a file system you will actually add 128MB or 2xPP.

SYNOPSIS
free [-b|-k|-m|-g] [-l] [-o] [-t] [-s delay ] [-c count ]
DESCRIPTION
free(1) displays the total amount of free and used physical memory and swap space in the system, as well as the buffers and cache consumed
by the kernel.
OPTIONS

-m, --mb
Display output in megabytes (MB).
-g, --gb

-l, --lowhigh

-o, --old
Use old format. Specifically, do not display -/+ buffers/cache.
-t, --total
Display total summary for physical memory + swap space.
-c n, --count=n
Display statistics n times, then exit. Used in conjunction with the -s flag. Default is to display only once, unless -s was speci-
fied, in which case default is to repeat until interrupted.
-s n, --repeat=n
Repeat, pausing every n seconds in-between.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
--help Display usage information and exit
