Paul: One slight modification; the load source size for V7R2/V7R3 is
different depending on what the load source is.
Minimum of 35 GB for 520-byte sectors (DS8000, virtual disks with VIOS as
server)
Minimum of 41 GB (to get 35 GB useable space) for 512-byte sectors (SVC,
Storwize, virtual disks with VIOS VSCSI or IBM i as server)
Minimum of 70 GB for Native-attached SAS (Both 520-byte or 4K sectors)

Storage spaces (IBM i client disk units) should be between 80G and 500G.
80G or above due to minimum load source size for V7R2 and V7R3 if required
PTFs/Technology Refresh doesn't exist 500G maximum due to STRASPBAL *MOVDTA
limit (other limits include 1TB and 2TB for max sizes with single objects,
VIOS if involved, etc...) - N1020633
