fshop_make: 0506-252 A file system with nbpi = 4096 cannot exceed 134217728 512-byte blocks

I was trying to create a 100 GB file system my IBM Storwize V7000 volume, and was getting this error message from smitty while creating the file system
Error message: fshop_make: 0506-252 A file system with nbpi = 4096 cannot exceed 134217728 512-byte blocks

 

Increasing the nbpi as shown below allowed me to create the file system.

smitty made the following entry in /etc/filesystems for my file system:

/oradata:
        dev             = /dev/lv01
        vfs             = jfs
        log             = /dev/loglv00
        mount           = true
        options         = rw
        account         = false


snitty also create the /oradata mount point
isvp17> ls -l /oradata
total 0

Mounting /oradata:
isvp17> mount /oradata
isvp17> df -m
