The disks are under Veritas control. I made a single concantenated volume on 1 73GB
disk, filling the whole disk. My DB and Log volumes were created the same way, except
they are not taking up the whole disk, but rather 1/4 of each 36GB disk, 2 volumes per
disk, no problems adding all of them. All of my other servers are setup the same way,
but none of them have disk volumes nearly as large. I will try creating a striped
volume of the same size and try adding it tomorrow to see how it works.

Michael - The factor which may be causing this odd error, may involve
what is not in your posting: how the raw partition was prepared.
I'm wondering whether it was formatted according to the Admin Guide
instructions: if not, some conflict with cylinder 0 may be inciting the
error. Beyond that, I'm not aware of a size limit on stgpool volumes.
(Given the size of tapes these days, I would not expect disk sizes to be
an issue.)
