Free PPs are those physical partitions which are not allocated to a logical
volume.
The Used PPs are those which ARE allocated, but that doesn't mean they're
actually being used. i.e. A filesystem which has 10 partitions may only be
50% full but all 10 of those partitions are being used as far as lspv is
concerned.
 
If you want to include space that's allocated to filesystems but isn't being
used at the moment you'll have to do a df or a du on each individual
filesystem.

Subject: How to compute free space on Physical Disks?
I need to find the "Total disk size" and "Free Space" on all my Physical
disks.
Right now I am doing this:
"lspv hdisk0"
And grabbing the "TOTAL PPs" and "Free PPs" fields.
Is this right, or is "Free PPs" the amount of sapce that has not been
assigned already.
