## Creating a volume by using the GUI 

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; however, the value for these capacity indicators is the same. The differences in how capacity indicators are displayed in the management GUI and the CLI are shown in Figure 7-77.
