Symmetrix systems use the following logical volume structure: ? Each logical volume has n cylinders ? Each cylinder has 15 tracks (heads) ? Each track has 128 blocks of 512 bytes Therefore, a Symmetrix logical volume with n cylinders has a usable block capacity of: n * 15 * 128 n for each volume is defined during Symmetrix configuration. To calculate the size of the logical volume: Number of cylinders * heads * blocks * 512 (n * 15 * 128* 512) 128*512 is the 64KB mentioned on the other post
You can use the following command to check disk numbers, disk types and capacity:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>symdisk list -sid 123 -dskgrp_summary
Symmetrix ID: 00019123456

Legend: (Tech)nology : SATA = SATA, FC = Fibre Channel, EFD = Enterprise Flash Drive
====================
2) To convert Tracks to GB:
1 track = 64 KB = 64 / 1024 /1024 to convert in GB.
