Assume the PLPA size is known to be 10 megabytes. Define the PLPA page data set to hold 10 megabytes plus 5%, or 10.5 megabytes. (The extra 5% allows for loss of space as a result of permanent I/O errors.)

Therefore: From the tables, 18 cylinders on a 3380 are needed for the 10.5-megabyte PLPA page data set. For the 3390, 15 cylinders are needed for the 10.5-megabyte PLPA page data set.

Note: This example provides no warm start capability. If installed, SCM can provide warm start capability.
