Spectrum Control Storage Consumer report does not work when using DRP on SVC

Storage consumer report can use Capcacity or Allocated Spaces on volumes when generating a report.

Allocated space on a volume is not counted when using DRP (Data Reduction Pool) on a storage system and reported as 0. It is not possible to determine allocated space if one is using dedup so this is probably as expected.

A new value called "Written Space" has been added to the database holding the amount of data a host has written and allocated for a volume.

There are two options:

1. The new data "Written Space" must be added as an option to all relevant reports that uses "Allocated Space".

2. "Allocated Space" shoul be able to report "Written Space" on DRP volumes.
