My SMPNTS is still an HFS and is on 4 3390-3 volumes. I think 3 is more than enough to hold a z/OS 1.9 order. I can't tell you exactly how much it needed though because ours is gone (I have a cron job set up to delete everything from our SMPNTS that is older than 3 months). But the real way to estimate is to take the size of the order that is given to you from the ShopZseries doc and the recommendation is to have the SMPNTS be 3 times the size of the order (unless you are also using SMPWKDIR).
