Isn't the space used/available more important than the model?

When I did DASD Capacity Planning I only cared about space and perf.

Usually, space won.

I just did a CYL count and divide, on the pool/storage group level.

And, hot spots.

When you have over 20TB (albeit 10 years ago) the size of a single volume is 
next t irrelevant.

Subject: Re: Determining 3390 Model

50,000 tracks = Mod 3
150,000 tracks = Mod 9
Figure out the rest from there.
