Calculating OPEN-V volume size (CV capacity unit is blocks)

To calculate the user area capacity of a CV whose capacity unit is defined as blocks:

ceiling(user-specified-CV-capacity / 2)

where

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

To calculate the entire capacity of a CV:

ceiling(user-specified-CV-capacity / (boundary-value * 2)) * (boundary-value * 2)

where

• the value enclosed in ceiling( ) must be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
• user-specified-CV-capacity is expressed in blocks.
• boundary-value is expressed in kilobytes. The boundary value depends on volume emulation types and RAID levels (see Boundary values of volumes).
• The resulting entire capacity is expressed in blocks. To convert the resulting entire capacity into megabytes, divide this capacity by 2,048.
