Calculating the size of a 3390-XA, 3390-XB, 3390-XC volume

TIP:

3390-XA indicates 3390-3A, 3390-9A, 3390-LA, and 3390-MA.

3390-XB indicates 3390-3B, 3390-9B, 3390-LB, and 3390-MB.

3390-XC indicates 3390-3C, 3390-9C, 3390-LC, and 3390-MC.

To calculate the entire capacity of a CV, use the following formulas. For the
user-specified-CV-capacity

, specify the capacity of the user area in a CV.

The resulting CV capacity is expressed in megabytes:

( ceil( ( (user-specified-CV-capacity + management-area-capacity)
* 15 * capacity-of-a-slot) / boundary-value) * boundary-value) / 1024

The value enclosed in ceil( ) must be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

The user-specified-CV-capacity is the capacity of the user area in a CV expressed
in cylinders.

The management-area-capacity is expressed in cylinders (see

“Management area

capacity of a mainframe volume” (page 38)

).

The capacity-of-a-slot is expressed in kilobytes. The capacity-of-a-slot value
depends on volume emulation types (see

“Capacity of a slot” (page 39)

).

The boundary-value is expressed in kilobytes. The boundary-value value depends on
volume emulation types and RAID levels (see

“Boundary values for RAID levels” (page 39)

).

Notes:

The management area capacity of a mainframe volume is expressed in cylinders (Cyl).

For a Compatible FlashCopy SE volume with a 3390-A emulation type, if you specify a value between 1 and
40,068 cylinders, the space required equals the sum of the specified value and 252 of 40,069 cylinders or more,
calculate the required free space with this formula:

40,320 cylinders + the value rounded up after the decimal point of *A * 1,120 cylinders

where *A = (the specified value - 40,068) ÷ 1,113 cylinders
