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.

Thanks for the help!

Given the very large "tracks used" values in that display I'm assuming that is an EAV volume.

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.)
