Mapped External Volume

When the capacity of the external volume is

2,410,612,640

(Blocks), and

this external volume is mapped with OPEN-3 emulation type,
800,000,000 (Blocks) of the volume cannot be used, because the
maximum volume of the OPEN-3 is

1,610,612,640

(Blocks).


And

1,320,480

(Blocks) of the mapped external volume becomes the

free space because the maximum number of LDEVs of base capacity
that can be defined with the OPEN-3 emulation type is 334. The free
space can be used if you set it using the VLL function.
