IT35422: CAPACITY DISCREPANCIES FOR CALCULATED VALUES IN STORAGE INSIGHTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After the latest upgrade to Storage Insights, there are
  discrepancies in the capacity values shown. The values do not
  match what the storage device is reporting in its own GUI. The
  calculated percentage value displayed for provisioned capacity
  in Storage Insights does not match the used/available values
  directly below it. It noticeably is displaying a negative
  provisioned capacity value in some cases.
  
  Additional
  discrepancies are seen with the drive compression and pool
  compression values shown for the storage, as they are reporting
  0.00 GiB.
