My TSM 6.2.3 TSM DB (running on AIX) was getting a bit full for comfort, so I added a 5th DB volume. It immediately showed 19.28BM used on the new volume but no more space has been used there over the last week or two. Is this the way it is supposed to work? When should it start to use the new space?

tsm: ULTSM>q dbspace

Location Total Space(MB) Used Space(MB) Free Space(MB)
------------------------------ --------------- --------------- ---------------
/tsm/tsmdb1 122,880.00 102,939.29 19,940.71
/tsm/tsmdb2 122,880.00 102,939.30 19,940.70
/tsm/tsmdb3 122,880.00 102,939.29 19,940.71
/tsm/tsmdb4 122,880.00 102,939.30 19,940.70
/tsm/tsmdb5 122,880.00 19.28 122,860.72

I ran into this issue with 6.2.2 and ultimately, after talking with
IBM, I had to do a dump/restore to have it start using the space. I
would get ahold of IBM and see if they have figured out a different
way to do this.

Does the "q db f=d" look different now verses before? You should see more free space listed at the top, if so it knows about it and will expand into it when it needs to.
