IBM APAR OA07687, one of several required for -54 support, says * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: New function support for the IBM * * TotalStorage DS6000 and DS8000 * * servers ( D/T1750 D/T2107 ) along * * with the IBM TotalStorage ESS * * D/T2105 model 800. * * * * This APAR provides DFSMSdss support * * for up to 65,520 cylinder sized * * volumes configured on these machines. * Take notice of the following consequences: Because the cylinder number in CCWs is 2 bytes, this is the max you can go in 3390 format (actually you could go to FFFF, but IBM chose to reserve a couple of cylinders. This support required that all IBM code, vendor code and user code change to treat the cylinder number as an UNSIGNED halfword. The previous largest disk was a 3390-27, 32760 cyliners (X'7FF8') which still alowed the cylinder number to be a signed halfword.
