One problem we had was unequal usage on the available volumes. The first volumes considered by SMS were almost full, no way to fulfill the primary space allocation. There was enough space in volumes that SMS would have checked later, but before SMS got there, the volcount was reached. We ended up increasing the volcount to the number of volumes available in the storgroup (or some sort of maximum), and voila, allocation went through.
