I'm trying to list the size of all files on a volume group in AIX 5.3. I need to backup a volume group and I need to determine if it will fit on the tapes I have available.

This question lists 'pvdisplay' and 'pvs' which aren't available in AIX it seems.

pvdisplay and friends are LVM commands, and AIX is not Linux. I think this question should be migrated to serverfault. – haimg Dec 14 '11 at 15:55

lsvg -p <volume group> will list the volumes in a volume group (and sizes)
lsvg -l <volume group> will list the logical volumes (and file systems)

To add up file sizes I think you need to look at the file system (du command)

Use the 'lsvgfs' command against your volume group, and then sum the Used column from 'df' for those filesystems.
