So 102400 MB = 100 GB. When I present that 100 GB to a host, it is 100 GB not 97.something GB.<br/><br/>Stephen The funny thing about this is that if you create a USP LDEV of say 100 GB, you need to multiply the MB by 1024.

So specifiy 3GB and you get a 3GB virtual disk. I’ve always referred to this as ‘marketing MB’ vs ‘engineering MB’
