maximum size of 5818 cylinders. If the OPEN-x volume is custom size (e.g.,
OPEN-3*n VIR device), use the following value: (# of cylinders defined for
VIR) − 7. For example, if the VIR OPEN-x volume is defined with 1000

cylinders, enter 993 in the Cylinder Size field.

Note: The maximum size for the Allocater is 4369 cylinders.
