See my earlier note. It's usually based on the smallest drive sold for the oldest server that supports the release. Well, unless that's too small then they 'round up' to the next size but it's been a while since that was required.

Thank you.

So, IBM insists that you have a load source at least as large as 1/2 the
size of the smallest disk drive currently marketed?
OTOH, if you have a bunch of smaller disks that is a financial hit. But,
they are probably in frames that aren't supported by 7.2 anyway.
