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.
