According to the manual each SMS candidate (or just secondary) volume
takes additional 4 bytes in the TIOT, so default TIOT of 32kB can hold

However the manual does not mention DVC. Do DVC candidate volumes take
4 bytes as well ?
Is it documented anywhere ?

Aha! This has nothing to do with the AS/400. Rather, you are asking how

be a suite of products offered by Cisco and IBM that do SNA over IP

I would start here:

2. applied fixes to new target libraries in cloned volume
3. rebuilt IPL text onto cloned volume from newly updated
target libraries
