Error description
There is no error in the logs. The report for storage resources for volumes and pools for DS8k subsystem displays allocated capacity to be a lot smaller than the actual size. The exceptions are if the volume is fully allocated and the used space is null or if the used space is zero. For the other situations Spectrum Control displays a smaller value for allocated space.
