Can a mechanism be built which will allow a more consolidated view of global values (such as TP Grain size) instead of having to go directly
to each volume?
The problem they are attempting to address is having to drill into each area for new provisioning and ensure all the performance parameters are set to their standard.
They want to be able to quickly reference this info w/ out digging.

    We don't have in our plans to enhance beyond the table views you have in the GUI today.  You can bring up different parameters about the volumes today including grain size (it's just not a default column).  For more enhanced reporting consider the use of Cognos which comes with Virtual Storage Center and Tivoli Storage Productivity Center.

    Development has asked for more information on this. They want to know if this is a policy based issue and any further details on the specific use case.
