Free PP Allocation problem

Firstly, I can't stress enough how much of a newb I am to AIX or Linux in general so please be very patient. I am strictly a MS man, however I now need to administer an IBM power series blade server which sits on top of an AIX VIOS. The VIOS version I am running is 2.1.2.0 and it is mirrored on two physical disks.

I am currently trying to install the latest version of the VIOS but when I attempt to run the command updateios it complains that there is not enough space in the /usr filesystem.

I then attempted to extend the /usr filesytem using extendlv but I get the error "0516-404 allocp: This system cannot fulfill the allocation request.There are not enough free partitions or not enough physical volumes to keep strictness and satisfy allocation requests. The command should be retried with different allocation characteristics."

In troubleshooting this error on google I think the problem lies in the allocation of my free PPs over the two mirrored disks. Here is the output of lsvg -pv rootvg.

Code:
$ lsvg -pv rootvg
rootvg:
PV_NAME           PV STATE          TOTAL PPs   FREE PPs    FREE DISTRIBUTION
hdisk0            active            546         0           00..00..00..00..00
hdisk1            active            546         301         83..00..00..109..109

I think what I need to do is move some of the 301 free PPs from hdisk1 over to hdisk0 but I haven't a clue where to even start. Can anyone help? Again, go easy I'm extremely new to this and barely know the connection between LVs, PVs, PPs and LPs.

POWERMAN-PDU(8) 						    NUT Manual							   POWERMAN-PDU(8)

NAME
powerman-pdu - Driver for Powerman PDU SYNOPSIS
powerman-pdu -h powerman-pdu -a PDU_NAME [OPTIONS] Note This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the powerman-pdu driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8). SUPPORTED HARDWARE
This driver supports a wide range of PDUs through the Powerman project. This includes various models from APC, Baytech, Cyclades, but also support IPMI and various blade management modules from HP, IBM and Sun. EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver doesn't support any optional settings. INSTALLATION
This driver is not built by default. You can build it by using "configure --with-powerman=yes". UPS COMMANDS
The following instant commands (see upscmd(8)) are available for each outlet of the PDU, with X standing for the outlet number: outlet.X.load.on Power on the outlet. outlet.X.load.off Power off the outlet. outlet.X.load.cycle Cycle the outlet (power off then power on, possibly with a delay). IMPLEMENTATION
The hostname of the Powerman server is specified using the "port" value in ups.conf, i.e.: [pdu] driver = powerman-pdu port = host.example.com:port The port used to reach powermand is optional if the default port is used. KNOWN ISSUES
In the current NUT version (2.4.1), ups.status is still exposed, with the value "WAIT". Some other values from the ups collection are also exposed. AUTHOR
