DASD Space for Distribution, Target Libraries and Data Areas

CA OPS/MVS requires DASD space for a variety of purposes, including distribution, target libraries and various data areas, such as those for OPSLOG, global variables, and RDF and System State Manager variables.

The following outlines the amount of DASD space to allocate for these purposes:

• SMP/E-controlled Distribution and Target Libraries

  Number of 3390 cylinders: 340

• For ESD Installations only additional Relfiles will be temporarily allocated for install and can be cleaned up post installation using the Cleanup JCL in the OPS.SAMPJCL

  Number of 3390 cylinders: 110

• Default size of data areas, which is sufficient for initial product users

  Number of 3390 cylinders:270

Note: For information on calculating how much DASD you need, see the appendix "DASD Calculation Chart" in this guide.
