<h1 class="topictitle1">Plan for storage capacity</h1>
<div><p>For a new system, your IBM<sup>®</sup> marketing representative can help you analyze your
system storage requirements. For an existing system, the current amount of
data in the disk pool that is being planned is a useful starting point. The
Display Disk Configuration Capacity option of the dedicated service tools
(DST) or system service tools (SST) shows the total size (in millions of bytes)
and the percent of storage used for each disk pool on the system. Multiply
the size of the disk pools by the percent that is used to calculate the number
of megabytes of data currently in the disk pool. In planning future storage
requirements for a disk pool, system growth and performance should also be
considered.</p>
<p>The planned amount of data and the planned percent of storage used work
together to determine the amount of actual auxiliary storage needed for a
mirrored disk pool. For example, if a disk pool is to contain 1 GB (GB equals
1 073 741 824 bytes) of actual data, it requires 2 GB of storage for the mirrored
copies of the data. If 50% of storage use is planned for that disk pool, the
disk pool needs 4 GB of actual storage. If the planned percent of storage
that is used is 66%, 3 GB of actual storage are required. One gigabyte of
real data (2 GB of mirrored data) in a 5 GB disk pool results in a 40% auxiliary
storage utilization.</p>
