    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

    for 1 and 2 ..look at man pages for "symdisk" and "symcfg"

    for 3, on DMX3/4/Vmax 1 track is 64k so multiply number of tracks by 64 and then devide by 1024 two times.

    Hi,

    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

          Disk Group                Disk                       Capacity
    ---------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------------
                                     Speed  Size      Total      Free      Actual
    Num Name                Cnt Tech (RPM)  (MB)      (MB)       (MB)       (MB)
    ---------------------- ----------------------- --------------------------------

      0 FC_600_GRP1_TDAT    250 FC   15000  279140   69785079      64127   69785079
      1 SATA_DISK_GROUP_0*   20 SATA  7200  953870   19077394    7692916   19077394
      2 FC_DISK_GROUP_002    62 FC  15000  418710   25960048   22314092   25960048
                                                   ---------- ---------- ----------
    Total                                           114822521   30071136  114822521

    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.
