Physical Usable capacity view in License Compliance Tab

Need the ability to display Physical Usable capacity in the Spectrum Control License Compliance Tab. Many customers that are virtualizing IBM storage behind San Volume Controller are licensed based on "Physical Usable" capacity so their licensed capacity is pre hardware FCM chip compression. Currently, Spectrum Control does not provide an option for this licensing model and customers are not able to easily determine how many TB they should be licensing, especially during a SW audit.

    Actually Control is written to gather the capacity from the backend device instead of SVC, if the backend device is also configured in Spectrum Control. So from a Control point of view there really is no gap in the licensing panel. Are you aksing for this capability because you need to manage SVC licenses?
