I have an old RS6000 running AIX 4.3
It's a system I inherited from some else and so I don't know much about what it has and doesn't have. I'm trying figure out if all the physical disks are being used because I need to increase the space on one of the volumes. I've looked through SMIT but I can't seem to find where the mappings for the disks to Logical Volumes are; I'm probably overlooking something but I'm not very familiar with AIX. Can anyone give me some pointers on where to look? As far as I can tell there are four Logical Volume groups.

I work on a sundry assortment of Unix hardware and this translates what I KNOW from one system into what works on another.
