Management Area Capacity Of A Mainframe Volume; Boundary Values For Raid Levels; Capacity Of A Slot - HP XP7 User Manual

( 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
capacity of a mainframe volume" (page
The capacity-of-a-slot is expressed in kilobytes. The capacity-of-a-slot value
depends on volume emulation types (see
The boundary-value is expressed in kilobytes. The boundary-value value depends on
volume emulation types and RAID levels (see

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

Boundary values for RAID levels

Boundary values of external volumes are always one slot, regardless of RAID levels.
Emulation type

Notes:
xxindicates one or more numbers or letters.
Boundary values are expressed in kilobytes.
Boundary values are of external volumes are always one kilobyte, regardless of RAID levels.
Hyphen (-) indicates that the combination is not supported.
