Calculating differential tables for open-system volume migration
When you migrate open-system volumes, use the information in 
 to calculate the total number of 
required differential tables per migration plan.
The following table shows the number of control cylinders according to the emulation type.

Equation
OPEN-3
Total number of differential tables per migration plan = 
(X): Capacity of the volume to be migrated (KB) 
1,2
(Y): Number of control cylinders associated with the emulation type (see 
(Z): Number of slots that can be managed by a differential table 
NOTE:
Round the result of the calculation up to the nearest whole number. 
For example, if the volume’s emulation type is OPEN-3, and it is not a custom volume, the 
volume capacity (X) is the default volume size, 2,403,360 KB, and the total number of 
differential tables is calculated as follows:
When you round to the nearest whole number, the result is 1. Therefore, the total number of 
differential tables for one migration plan is 1 when the emulation type is OPEN-3.
1. If the selected volume is a CVS (custom volume size) volume, use the capacity of the custom volume instead of the default volume 
capacity for the emulation type. Since the OPEN-L emulation type does not support custom volume operations, you must use the 
default volume capacity of OPEN-L for X.

Total number of differential tables per migration plan = 
(X): Capacity of the volume to be migrated (KB) 
2
(Z): Number of slots that can be managed by a differential table 
NOTE:
Round the result of the calculation up to the nearest whole number. 
For example, if the volume capacity (X) is the maximum OPEN-V volume capacity of 
3,019,898,880 KB, the total number of differential tables is calculated as follows:
When you round up to the nearest whole number, the result is 193. Therefore, the total number 
of differential tables for migration plan is 193 when the emulation type is OPEN-V.
