Error description
Settings > License Compliance When monitoring license compliance by capacity, the XIV storage that is virtualized behind SVC is double counted until the XIV is fully virtualized. We have 5 Flash arrays all behind 2 SVC clusters. We can see looking at the 5 Flash arrays they show 5.19 SCUs which is correct as there is a portion of 1 Flash array not completely behind the SVC. Looking across the line for all Flash, we see Virtual Capacity for those Flash arrays total about 103 GiB, but the SVC Tier 1 capacity values combined are only 41 GiB. The licensed capacity for Flash systems needs to be computed differently so that it is not double counted.
