Ensure that the volume has at least as much available storage as the message indicates it should have. If it does not, rerun the INSTALL CLIST specifying different volumes, or create more available space on the originally specified volume.

In order to convert the number of 4KB blocks required to the number of cylinders required, use the table below. Divide the number of 4KB blocks (in the DSNT488I message) by the number of 4KB blocks per cylinder (in the table) to get the number of cylinders required.
Device Type 4KB Blocks per Cylinder 4KB Blocks per Track
3330 57 3
3340 24 2
3350 120 4
3375 96 8
3380 150 10
