You can estimate the maximum number of migration plans that can be executed concurrently by applying

the previously described conditions to the following equation:

, where:

Σ

(α) is the total number of differential tables needed to migrate all volumes.

(β) is the number of available differential tables.

For example, if you want to create 20 migration plans of OPEN-3 volumes (volume size = 2,403,360 KB),

calculate the number of required differential tables (page 83) and enter this number in the equation:

.

Since this equation is true, you can create 20 migration plans of OPEN-3 volumes.

Calculating differential tables for mainframe volume migration

When you migrate mainframe volumes, use the following equation to calculate the total number of

required differential tables per migration plan:

, where:

X: The number of cylinders in the volume to be migrated. If the volume is a CVS volume, use the

number of cylinders in the custom volume instead of the default value for the emulation type.

Y: The number of control cylinders (See

Table 26

).

Z: The number of slots that can be managed by a differential table:

.

NOTE:

Round the result of the calculation up to the nearest whole number.

For example, if a volume has the emulation type 3390-3, and 3339 cylinders, calculate the total number of

differential tables with the following equation:

.

When you round 0.81836 up to the nearest whole number, it becomes 1. Therefore, the total number of

differential tables for one migration plan is 1 when emulation type is 3390-3.
The following table shows the number of the control cylinders according to the emulation type.
