Interesting.  I had no idea there was such a distinction.  It also explains a 
question I didn't ask.  We are moving our "managed" mainframe from Kyndryl to 
Ensono, and it appears that which ones are track managed vs which ones are 
cylinder managed differ between the two host environments.  See below.

I was hoping there might be an option where I could view the "Total" lines for 
each using the same "type" (both in cyl or both in tracks), but I guess I'm 
stuck with using a calculator.

Thanks for the help!

SWAG without looking up the FM docs - TM == Track Managed, CM == Cylinder 
Managed.  Given the very large "tracks used" values in that display I'm 
assuming that is an EAV volume.

I can't find anywhere in the documentation describing what each of these 
fields/labels represent.  I guess most are obvious, but what do "TM" and "CM" 
mean in this context?  Also, how do I convert tracks/cylinders to bytes?  One 
website says 56,664 bytes per track.  Others say it depends on "disk type".  
These all seem to be defined as 3390, and another website says all 3390 models 
have 56,664 per track.  I just want to make sure that is accurate.

(No, I am not a sysprog.)
