1.2 User Interfaces
Two user interfaces are available for the administration of 3PAR InServ Storage Servers: the
3PAR InForm Command Line Interface (CLI) and the 3PAR InForm Management Console. Unless
otherwise stated, all tasks can be performed with both the CLI and the Management Console.
Refer to the 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual and the 3PAR InForm Management
Console Online Help for instructions on how to perform the tasks described at a conceptual
level in this guide.
1.3 Units of Measure
All units of storage (capacity) are calculated base 2 (x 1,024).
Therefore:
1 KB = 1,024 bytes
1 MB = 2
20
bytes = 1,048,576 bytes
1 GB = 2
30
bytes = 1,024 MB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 TB = 2
40
bytes = 1,024 GB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
All units of performance (speed) are calculated base 10 (x1000).
Therefore:
1 KB = 1000 bytes
1 MB = 10
20
bytes = 1,000,000 bytes
1 GB = 10
30
bytes = 1000 MB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
1 TB = 10
40
bytes = 1000 GB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes
