Size representations

Operating systems usually show volume size in base 2. Disk drives usually show size in base 10. Memory

size is always shown in base 2.

In the CLI, the base for entry and display of storage-space sizes can be set per user or per session; see

create user and set cli-parameters. When entering storage-spaces sizes only, either base-2 or base-10 units

can be specified.

The locale setting determines the character used for the decimal (radix) point, as shown below.

Event log

A controller enclosure’s event log records all events that have occurred in or been detected by the controller

modules and encompasses all field-replaceable units (FRUs) in the enclosure.

Each event has one of the following levels, in decreasing severity:

• Critical. Events that might affect data integrity or system stability.

• Warning. Events that do not affect data integrity.

• Informational. Events that show the change of state or configuration changes.

For information about viewing events, see the show events command.
