When creating device, the size of the device needed in number of cylinders. In Symmetrix DMX/Vmax models(Enginuity 5671 and earlier), a cylinder of an FBA device contains 1920 512-byte blocks, or 0.98 megabytes. In earlier Symmetrix models, a cylinder of an FBA device contains 960 512-byte blocks or, 0.468 megabytes.
- Enginuity 5671 and earlier: 960 512-byte blocks
- Enginuity 5771+: 1920 512-byte blocks
