For DRP show used_capacity_before_reduction in the GUI

When using DRP, Real and used capacity is not shown in the GUI. Used capacity is actuyally available from command line as "used_capacity_before_reduction". I suggest that this value is presented in the GUI for DRP volumes.

    On release 8.6, the default is "None" for capacity savings as the data is compressed using the FCMs rather than CPU. The value "used_capacity_before_reduction" is no longer present for columes that are not deduplicated. 

    It is important to know the amount of data written to a volume by the client, also for volumes with Capacity Savings = None.

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request.

    used_capacity_before_reduction is a valid CLI field for DRP. We will look into at adding as an optional column on the GUI.


    Thanks,
