When the capacity of the external volume is 2,410,612,640 (Blocks), and
this external volume is mapped with OPEN-3 emulation type,
800,000,000 (Blocks) of the volume cannot be used, because the
maximum volume of the OPEN-3 i s 1,610,612,640 (Blocks).
A
nd 1,320,480 (Bloc ks) of the mapped exter nal volume becomes the
free space because the maximum number of LDEVs of base capacit
y
that can be defined with the OPEN-3 emulation type is 334. The free
space can be used if you set it using the VLL function.
