Description
This error indicates that an invalid or unrecognized unit was provided when specifying a size or quantity for an ACFS (Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System) parameter. It typically occurs during ACFS volume creation, resizing, or when setting ACFS properties where valid units are restricted to K, M, G, T, or P.
Error Message
Invalid unit specified: string . Valid units are K|M|G|T|P.
Known Causes
4 known causesIncorrect Unit Casing
Providing lowercase units (e.g., 'k', 'm') instead of the required uppercase (K, M, G, T, P) for ACFS parameters.
Unsupported Unit Used
Attempting to use units not recognized by ACFS (e.g., 'MB', 'GB') instead of the single-letter abbreviations (K, M, G, T, P).
Missing Unit Specification
Omitting the unit entirely, providing only a numerical value where a unit is explicitly expected by an ACFS command.
Typographical Error in Unit
A simple typo or miskey in the unit specification, such as 'X' instead of 'G', leading to an unrecognized unit.
