How to create a filesystem with the correct computation of PP

Hi everyone, im having a problem with the computation of the PP size for creating a filesystem.

for example my requirement is to create a new filesystem with 10gig of system on aix 5.1 and aix 5.3 system.

here's the result when i run lsvg vgSAN-sparkle

could any provide me an exact computation of PP size for the creation of 10gig filesystem based on the result below.

maybe a working complete example is also appreciated thank you.

Code:
VOLUME GROUP:   vgSAN-sparkle           VG IDENTIFIER:  0024566a00004c0000000110319d5a7a
VG STATE:       active                   PP SIZE:        128 megabyte(s)
VG PERMISSION:  read/write               TOTAL PPs:      268 (34304 megabytes)
MAX LVs:        512                      FREE PPs:       159 (20352 megabytes)
LVs:            4                        USED PPs:       109 (13952 megabytes)
OPEN LVs:       4                        QUORUM:         3
TOTAL PVs:      4                        VG DESCRIPTORS: 4
STALE PVs:      0                        STALE PPs:      0
ACTIVE PVs:     4                        AUTO ON:        yes
MAX PPs per PV: 1016                     MAX PVs:        128
LTG size:       128 kilobyte(s)          AUTO SYNC:      no

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

NAME
xfs_freeze - suspend access to an XFS filesystem SYNOPSIS
xfs_freeze -f | -u mount-point DESCRIPTION
xfs_freeze suspends and resumes access to an XFS filesystem (see xfs(5)). xfs_freeze halts new access to the filesystem and creates a stable image on disk. xfs_freeze is intended to be used with volume managers and hardware RAID devices that support the creation of snapshots. The mount-point argument is the pathname of the directory where the filesystem is mounted. The filesystem must be mounted to be frozen (see mount(8)). The -f flag requests the specified XFS filesystem to be frozen from new modifications. When this is selected, all ongoing transactions in the filesystem are allowed to complete, new write system calls are halted, other calls which modify the filesystem are halted, and all dirty data, metadata, and log information are written to disk. Any process attempting to write to the frozen filesystem will block waiting for the filesystem to be unfrozen. Note that even after freezing, the on-disk filesystem can contain information on files that are still in the process of unlinking. These files will not be unlinked until the filesystem is unfrozen or a clean mount of the snapshot is complete. The -u flag is used to un-freeze the filesystem and allow operations to continue. Any filesystem modifications that were blocked by the freeze are unblocked and allowed to complete. One of -f or -u must be supplied to xfs_freeze. NOTES
A copy of a frozen XFS filesystem will usually have the same universally unique identifier (UUID) as the original, and thus may be pre- vented from being mounted. The XFS nouuid mount option can be used to circumvent this issue. In Linux kernel version 2.6.29, the interface which XFS uses to freeze and unfreeze was elevated to the VFS, so that this tool can now be used on many other Linux filesystems. SEE ALSO
