Below is the documented define from the SMF manual.
Your Cisize of 26K seems to be optimum for a 3390, see section 2.1.1.2
Using DEFINE to Create SMF Data Sets of z/OS V1R4.0 MVS System
Management Facilities (SMF).
I'm a bit curious as to why you would change the recommended Recordsize?
How many hours of recording does 6300 tracks give you?

DEFINE CLUSTER  (NAME(SYS1.MANX)             +            
                VOLUME(xxxxxx)               +            
                NONINDEXED                   +            
                CYLINDERS(nn)                +            
                REUSE                        +            
                RECORDSIZE(4086,32767)       +            
                SPANNED                      +            
                SPEED                        +            
                CONTROLINTERVALSIZE(nnnn)    +
                SHAREOPTIONS(2))

Subject: SYS1.MAN allocation question

We've always allocated our SMF files as follows:
 
 DEFINE CLUSTER( -
    CONTROLINTERVALSIZE(26624) -
    TRACKS(6300) -
    NAME(SYS1.MAN2) -
    NONINDEXED -
    RECORDSIZE(26614,32767) -
    REUSE -
    SHAREOPTIONS(2) -
    SPANNED -
    SPEED -
    VOLUME(SYS004) )
 
I'm just curious since I don't see any optimal settings in any of the
manuals for recordsize and cisize is this a good allocation??  Any help
would be appreciated.  We are at z/OS 1.7.
