Re: Good links for i hosting i

In CRTNWSSTG I use 37722 as the size to meet the 35GB Load Source requirement for 7.2 and up. It reports in exactly at the proscribed 35 Size IBM requires. Same number works on Storwize so long as you select MB for the units.

If you care: 18865 gets you a 17GB and 75445 gets you a 70 GB drive sized as if it were a physical drive before any RAID loss.

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
