Not knowing the internals of that SAN thing... But still... I was convinced that all that is virtualized in such a way that waste of space is actually not an issue anymore. As the actual physical spinning platters are only used when there is actual data to store, allocating a big 3390 and not writing anything on it should not consume much capacity, no?

No. Unfortunately no. Such virtualisation was available in RVA (SVA) family. It is partially available as SE/Flashcopy or TF/Snap and VDEV. However it is not an option for regular volumes (except RVA/SVA).

BTW: SAN is not proper description. SAN consist of FICON cables and switches. At the end of the cable is DASD box, aka disc system aka array.
