Sounds like you are talking about EMC DMX3 or 4? If this is the case, let your storage/DMX admin check it via ECC or sym-commands maybe.

Doesn't look like an AIX problem.

it is EMC DMX3 its a Tivoli alert and me as a junior in our AIX department I have been asked to come with solution to this. I understand there are 2 ways to do this 1 from the HMC and the other one from running certain commands pls help

I don't know if your Tivoli looks at AIX volume groups or at DMX3 volumes.

If the VG is running out of space, you have to assign another physical volume assigned from the DMX 3 to that VG. When created on the DMX 3 and assigned, you can add it with extendvg on AIX for example.

HMC? No I don't think you can solve anything of that with the HMC.

But it looks more like a message that a DMX 3 volume is running out of space. As I said, use the ECC (EMC Control Center) or adequate sym... commands.

Be warned, that this is nothing a junior admin should do. You have exactly to know what you are doing.

I found an answer increasing the space by using chps -s command
thanks Zaxxon actually I made a mistake by saying HMC instead of smitty

How do you come to think this is the Paging Space? I saw some post in some other forum regarding this but I have no idea why they think this is ps.

From the input you gave there is no clue which LV is meant so why Paging Space??

You can check your Paging Space using with lsps -a for example. And if there is nothing about 49% like mentioned in your 1st post, then it is meant definetly something different.

Also if your box uses that much Paging Space, then it either can be tuned badly or not at all or you have not sufficient memory assigned to it.
