CDS Sizer Tool

As shown in Figure 2-5, the CDS Sizer is used to determine size requirements for the HSC control data set (CDS) based on a specific VSM5 system configuration.

The tool requests detailed inputs about the VSM configuration (number of LSMs, VTVs, MVCs, VTSSs, configured MVC ranges, and configured VTV ranges), then calculates the number of 4K blocks needed in the HSC database to accommodate the LSM and VSM configurations.
