Says Active under protection status.
I think I see how wrksyssts is getting 1395. That is 11 x 127.
The problem is, that is not really how much space is available as those 11 drives are in a RAID 5, so it should be about 1270 GB.
WRKSYSSTS doesn't seem to have knowledge of raid configurations and adjust accordingly?

*WARNING**
The hotspare should NOT BE LISTED in WRKDSKSTS. If it's showing there and has an ASP number next to it you are UNPROTECTED!!
Hit F11 to see protection. If there is nothing under 'Protection" then you need to remove this disk from the ASP IMMEDIATELY! Your hot spare is set incorrectly as an available disk not a Hot Spare in this case!!

We have 11 x 127GB drives in RAID 5 which should equal about 1268. We also have one hot spare, bringing it to 1395.
Why would WRKDSKSTS show the hotspare as usable drive space??
Additionally, the percentage ASP used is off as well because of this.
Lastly, does the system incorrectly calculate total used disk space because of the recursive sym link in QOpenSYs that links back upon itself up to a depth of 10 times (therefore inflating QOpenSys consumed space by 10x)?
Thanks!
