where
• the value enclosed in ceil( ) must be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
• calculated-management-area-capacity depends on volume emulation types and
RAID levels (see “Management area capacity of an open-systems volume” (page 49)).
To calculate the entire capacity of a CV if the data protection level is set to the Enhanced mode
on the SATA drive:
ceil(entire-capacity-of-a-CV(slots) +
calculated-management-area-capacity)
To convert the resulting entire capacity into blocks:
calculated-entire-capacity-of-a-CV(slots) *
capacity-of-a-slot * 2
where
• calculated-entire-capacity-of-a-CV(slots) means the entire capacity of a CV
if the data protection level is set to the Enhanced mode on the SATA drive.
