OK, no responses to my below so let me ask a simpler question.
The System Manager Dashboard's "Capacity" pane says I'm using 1.83PB with 11.7TB available. That's clearly not accurate.
If I click into the arrow in that pane I get the Tiers page and it says my two Tiers respectively have 875TB used and 6.5TB available, and 1PB used and 5.2TB available.
What the hell are these numbers describing?
Hope to hear from you

Hello All,
We're migrating from a FAS to a new AFF that has inline compression and a guarantee of 3X compression.
I'm trying to convert a graphite/snmp graphing system that reports our overall aggregate space usage to the new system.
A straightforward graph of used and free space on the data aggregates/tiers shows the right portion of space used but seems to be reporting pre-compression usage (and we appear to be getting less than 3X).
The System Manager webUI says we're getting ~120:1 "Data Reduction" but it also says we're using 1.74PB and have 14TB available. In fact we currently have 48 x 900GB SSDs in two disk groups/tiers and about 40TB of actual unstructured data.
Is there a doc somewhere on understanding space reporting with the new system including meaningful reporting of compression returns?
Grateful for any help,
Randy in Seattle
