The methods for calculating the user area capacity and the entire capacity of a CV vary depending on the CV capacity unit that is specified when creating the CV.

To calculate the user area capacity of a CV whose capacity unit is defined as MB, GB, or TB:

ceiling(ceiling(user-specified-CV-capacity * 1024 / 64) / 15) * 64 * 15 

where

  • The value enclosed in ceiling( ) must be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
  • user-specified-CV-capacity is expressed in megabytes.
  • The resulting user area capacity is expressed in kilobytes.

To calculate the entire capacity of a CV:

ceiling(user-area-capacity / boundary-value) 
* boundary-value / 1024 

where

  • The value enclosed in ceiling( ) must be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
  • user-area-capacity is expressed in kilobytes
  • boundary value is expressed in kilobytes.
  • The resulting entire capacity is expressed in megabytes.
Note: The boundary value for an external volume is always one kilobyte, regardless of RAID level.
