jkc924,
here's the basic:
1. lspv
- will tell you how many hardisk/s you have on your system
2. lspv hdisk# (where # = the disk number)
3. lsvg
- show you how many VG's you have on your system
4. lsvg <VG>
- will show you volume group's details; the size,used & free PP in MB, noting that volume group may contain several hard disk/s.
***NOTE****
1,000 MB = 1GB
This is just to start working.

or you can try this:
lscfg -vl hdisk#
- where # is the disk number, say;
lscfg -vl hdisk0
check first how many disk/s you have on you system by:
lspv
lscfg -vl hdisk#
- where # is the disk number, say;
lscfg -vl hdisk0
check first how many disk/s you have on you system by:
lspv

I have a script that I got from The AIX Survival Guide by Andreas Siegert -- the best book for AIX, except it is getting really dated. Some of the stuff is still relevant.
This script goes out and lists each disk, telling you how much space is left on each disk. This is sort of a summary. Then it lists each mount point and how much disk space each mount point is taking and on what disk.
If you post your email, I will send it to you. It will make your life a whole lot easier. (I'll also send you my other script that gathers other info about the system. I use it as part of my "disaster recovery" routine.)

Hi,
when you have choosen the right command to retrieve
total-used-free space, I suggest to enable your client
to romote shell from (root@yourmachine) (.rhost)
Then, on the server, (or in a your machine) build
a script that loops in a list of your clients, then
executes the 1st script (lsvg...) . You can put this
script on the server, mounted by NFS, so that you can
modify it without download each time on client.
Clicking a button, after some minutes you can know:
1) if the client is on
2) total space
3) any other thing that you can want know
4) you can print them, and why not, see it on a web page
5) it is not Tivoli, but it's yours .
bye.

Hi bi,
For the risk of sounding like a broken record ... I'd be interested in your scripts too.
daveh@email.utcourts.gov
Thanks a ton - you know you really asked for this![[wiggle]](/data/assets/smilies/wiggle.gif "[wiggle] [wiggle]")

I created some FAQ's regarding disk space in Unix Scripting Forum.

By the way, here are a couple scripts I have written for drive space...
******************************************************

set -A dlist `lspv | awk '{print $1}' | sort -A`
maxdr=`lspv | wc -l`
let count=0
while (($count < $maxdr));
do
lspv ${dlist[count]}
lspv -l ${dlist[count]}
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------------"
let count="count + 1"
done

vgexclude1="rootvg"
vgexclude2="sysredorollvg"
set -A dlist `lspv | grep -v $vgexclude1 | grep -v $vgexclude2 |awk '{print $1}'`
