Change display from Tib to TB

[Golden_Niglo01]

Hello Nimble community,

I would like to change the storage display of my Nimble from Tib to TB.

Does anybody know how to do that?

Regards

Hi Golden_Niglo01

Thank you for coming to the HPE Community forums.

The Nimble Web GUI displays in TiB (Tebibyte) as per the design and Unfortunately as of now, we don't have an option to change in display.

Tebibyte Based on multiple units of a byte (base 2)
1 TiB = 1024 GiB
1 GiB = 1024 MiB

Hope this helps.!

Regards
Mahesh.

Hi, 

Nimble OS uses TiB by design and not TB. 

TB is base 10 (i.e., 1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes)

Ti, or tebi, represents multiplication by 10244. So the math using Ti is more
accurate.

Hello @Golden_Niglo01,

Reposting one of my previous articles in the HPE forum:

https://community.hpe.com/t5/HPE-Primera-Storage/What-exactly-are-the-storage-memory-Units-KiB-MiB-GiB-TiB-in/m-p/7123450#M87

What exactly are the storage/memory Units KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB in HPE storages?

The entire computing world had been using the computing memory/storage Units Megabytes, Gigabytes, Terabytes. But the challenge here is a Megabyte measures 1,048,576 bytes in binary system, but it means 1,000,000 bytes in metric units. To address this discrepancy, the new terms KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, etc are introduced.

KiB = Kibibytes/Kilobinarybytes = 1024 bytes

MiB = Mebibytes/Megabinarybytes = 1,048,576 bytes or 1024 KiB

GiB = Gibibytes/Gigabinarybytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes or 1024 MiB

TiB = Tebibytes/Terabinarybytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes or 1024 GiB

In general practice, people still use the popular terms KB/MB/GB/TB. But in formal documents, you will see the terms KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB for legal accuracy.
