2 * [ (SSCH Rate) * (Average I/O Service Time) ] = # of Proposed Aliases

Example -- assumptions are 2000 SSCH for the LCU with an average I/O service time of 5 milliseconds.

2 * [ (2000) * (.005) ] =  2 * 10 = 20 Aliases for the LCU

Note ... Make this calculation at the LCU level as the alias are defined as device numbers on an LCU.

Hello,

We are installing a new DASD array with 33 TB of capacity with
approximately 1/3 of the capacity being setup as 3390-3's, 1/3 as 3390-9's
and the last 1/3 as 3390-27's.  I am wondering if anyone has any experience
or documentation that would suggest how many Hyper PAVs per LCU we should
define.  The LCUs will contain an even mix (from a capacity perspective) of
the 3390-3's, 3390-9's and 3390-27's.
