Alan, There is no definitive answer until you get your filled, and then it will tell you the size. If you go read the book: ServerPac: Planning for internet delivery at http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/a2322061.pdf, It says that whatever the size is, add at least 500 cylinders. It then goes on to say that your SMPNTS size should be allocated about 2 times the size of your order. And finally, it says that a typical z/OS serverpac is on the order of 5-6Gb compressed or 10-12Gb uncompressed.
We happen to have a lot of IBM products that tends to make our delivery larger, so I am planning on allocating a zfs on the order of 40-50Gb just to be safe.
