LCCA/PCCA storage.   But the default CBLOC has been VIRTUAL31 since z/OS 1.12.

a large number (FSVO large) and have 24-bit issues already in your common / pvt 
storage.

Not true. LCCA/PCCA storage is only allocated for a CP when a CP is logically online.

The maximum number of CPs is dependent on the value of CVTMAXMP that is set when z/OS IPL's. This value effects the size of many other control blocks, including, but not limited to, the LCCAVT and the PCCAVT. Which is why CVTMAXMP can not be increased dynamically. While over specifying reserved CPs does have an impact on storage usage, it is a *minor* impact until the CPs are actually brought online to z/OS. So don't worry about over specifying the value.
