by I am fairly green in AIX administration and have been looking at our disk
utilization. From what I've read, I think Free PP's on a physical disk are
not allocated to any volume groups and are effectively just sitting unused
if there are any for possible future use in expanding a volume group.
But I was told by someone else that has a little more experience then me
(but still fairly green) that free PP's are not used but they are actually
already allocated. So are free PP's kind of like the free space on a
formatted DOS partition, allocated but not currently in use? This doesn't
seem like what AIX does with PP's from what I've read, but I could have read
it wrong.
Thanks for any clarification!
