To properly configure a storageset whose logical geometry exceeds these values,
follow these steps:
1. Get the size of the storageset by performing a show on the unit from the CLI
on the HSG80 controller (e.g. SHOW D100). This will include a line with
the following format:
LUN Uses

Size: 248768478 blocks
Geometry (C/H/S): ( 73601 / 20 / 169 )
2. Your actual numbers will vary depending on the exact size of your
storageset. The values given represent the number of data cylinders (cyl), the
number of heads (hd) and the number of sectors per track (sec). Write these
numbers down.
Note that in the above example, the Solaris format command will report the
cylinder count (cyl + alt) as 8065, giving a much smaller total block count for
the above storageset.
