Capacity indicators
The system uses base-2 (binary numeral) as capacity indicators for volumes, drives, and other system objects. The management GUI and the command-line interface (CLI) use different abbreviations to indicate capacity, but the value for these capacity indicators is the same.
The following table displays the differences in how capacity indicators are
displayed in the management GUI and the CLI.
