304.0. "DISK SIZE WHEN MOVING FROM IBM TO VAX FOCUS" by MUSKIE::MELINE (Alex Meline) Wed Jan 17 1990 17:52

    We have a customer running FOCUS on an IBM 4381, who would like
    to move it over to a VAX.  I have no idea how to convert their current
    disk usage to something VAX configurable, and could do with some
    help if anyone else has been through this.
                                        
    On the 4381 they have 3380 disks that are measured in cylinders,
    this is what they have:             
                                        
    SINK MACHINES 4E	 30  cyl        
    FOCEXECS, MASTERS	 30  cyl        
    USERS		180  cyl        
    SYSTEMS		 50  cyl        
                        ___             
    			290             
    OS BRIDGE		250	(7files)
                                                 
    
    If anyone has any input about how to come up with something here
    I would be grateful.
    
    Thanks in advance
    
    Alex

	I've forgotten how many megabytes to a cylinder, but what you have to do is convert cylinders to megabytes, and megabytes to blocks (512 bytes/block). An RA81 has about 1.1 million blocks.
