Preparing for Cross-OS File Exchange Operations 3-23
Hitachi USP V Cross-OS File Exchange User’s Guide
Note: The VIR OPEN-x devices can also be called custom volume size (CVS)
devices (e.g., OPEN-3-CVS). When formatting a VIR OPEN-x LU, use the
number of cylinders defined for VIR minus seven (e.g., use 993 cylinders for a
VIR device defined with 1000 cylinders). The cylinder size is: one cylinder =
15 tracks, one track = 96 sub-blocks, one sub-block = 512 bytes.
Table 3-9
shows the relation between block length and write available capacity per track.
The actual data capacity per cylinder = (write available capacity per track) ×
(15 tracks).

Note: The write available data per track includes the four-byte RL information
and four-byte BL information for each record. When transferring variable-
length records, make sure to take this extra required space into account.
WARNING: The FX FMT utility erases all data on the OPEN-x LU being
formatted. If necessary, back up the data on the OPEN-x LUs prior to FMT
formatting.
