IC89446: DOCUMENTATION NEEDS CLARIFICATION FOR ENTITY "MB" IN "QUERY OCCUPANCY" AND "QUERY AUDITOCCUPANCY" COMMAND OUTPUTS

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The documentation needs clarification about the entity "MB"
  being used in outputs of Tivoli Storage Manager commands
  QUERY OCCUPANCY and QUERY AUDITOCCUPANCY.
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager uses "MB" (MegaByte) as the unit in
  QUERY OCCUPANCY and QUERY AUDITOCCUPANCY based on a scaling
  factor of 2^x (here: 2^20). To re-calculate the MB value in
  bytes, the number
  shown needs to be multiply by 1048576 (= 1024*1024).
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  Tivoli Storage Manager server ALL Supported Releases
  
  Initial Impact:
  medium
  
  Additional Keywords:

• The QUERY OCCUPANCY and QUERY AUDITOCCUPANCY field
  descriptions for the following items will show that MB =
  1048576 bytes
  
  Backup Storage Used (MB)
  Archive Strage Used (MB)
  Space-Managed Storage Used (MB)
  Total Storage Used (MB)
  
  This is the current description for the first item in the
  list; Backup Storage Used (MB).
  
  Backup Storage Used (MB)
  Specifies, in megabytes, the total backup storage use for the
  node.
  
  This is the proposed description:
