Yes, it means that you have allocated more data to the volume than that particular volume type can hold. For instance, if it's a 3390-3 then you have allocated more than ~3333 cylinders, and in fact you have allocated 30% more than that so it's somewhere in the range of 4,300 cylinders.
You have several options, 1) use bigger DASD, (i.e. a 3390-9 or 3390-27) 2) relocate some of the datasets to some other (hopefully underused) volume 3) split the volume into multiples, i.e. create a CAT2 volume on a different volser and move some of the data there. Since this is your catalog volume, I believe that hte default puts the page datasets, JES spool and the SMF datasets there, and they should probably be moved to a spool, page and SMF volume(s). You will likely find that there a re lots of datasets that don't have to be there, so just create other volumes and place them there. When I set up a new system, I like to use 3390-9's and I end up with 2 RES volumes, 3 DLIB volumes, a SPOOL, a SMF, a SMP/e and a page volume. Then when the system goes to production, I increase the page and spool space (and maybe some other volumes, depending on what the product mix is for that particular site). If they have CICS, there will be at least 2 CICS volumes, if they have DB/2, there will be 2 to 3 of them, and so on. Serverpac isn't meant to be the do all end all of the allocation, it just gives you a place to start.
