To calculate the total physical capacity of a storage unit, multiply each disk drive
set feature by its total physical capacity and sum the values. For DS8000, a disk
drive set feature consists of 16 identical disk drives with the same capacity and
RPM.
The logical configuration of your storage affects the effective capacity of the disk
drive set.
Specifically, effective capacities vary depending on the following configurations:
v
Data format
Physical capacity can be logically configured as fixed block (FB) or count key
data (CKD). Data accessed by open systems hosts or Linux on System z that
support Fibre Channel protocol must be logically configured as FB. Data
accessed by System z hosts with z/OS or z/VM must be configured as CKD.
v
Array or rank configuration
The disk drive arrays on the system can be contained in RAID ranks and RAID
configurations. A rank can contain only one array.
Each RAID rank is divided into equal-sized segments known as extents. All extents
are approximately 1 GB. However, FB extents are slightly larger than CKD extents.
DS8000 series
DS8000 RAID capacities for RAID 5 arrays, Table 24 on page 104, and Table 25 on
page 105 describe the effective capacities for RAID arrays.
