* Calculate the internal volume capacity for a CLPR using the formula below.
Internal volume capacity = number of (3D+1P) parity groups x capacity of one HDD x 3 + number of (6D+2P) parity
groups x capacity of one HDD x 6 + number of (7D+1P) parity groups x capacity of one HDD x 7 + number of
(14D+2P) parity groups x capacity of one HDD x 14 + number of (2D+2D) parity groups x capacity of one HDD x 2
(iii) When Cache Residency is used:
When you use the Priority mode by using Cache Residency for a CLPR, you may want to add
cache capacity depending on the number of areas in which the priority mode is set in addition to
the cache used for Cache Residency. For further information, see the Priority mode section of the
HP XP P9000 Performance for Open and Mainframe Systems User Guide.
