storage scope

This is correct. Calculated columns is the way to do this. Keep in mind that calculated columns are defined globally so you can reuse those in other queries.

Nandamuri, what type of functionality would you expect (i.e. how would you like it to work) to address your original question?

I want to generate a report for total unconfigured raw space available for a Symm in GB along with configurable space available. What other columns would you suggest to know more about available space in a Symm?

It depends on what you want to monitor. I would suggest
1)Physical Capacity
2)Configured Space & Available Configured Space
3)Unconfigured Space (you can skip this).
4) SRDF devices
5) Standard/BCV devices

Keep in mind this strategy doesn't always work. Unfortunately there is a limit to how long your custom column name can be and some of the stock columns are longer than that so you cannot always simply copy the name and change to GB/TB/PB.

There really should be a better way than manually creating these columns but today that's all there is within the storagescope application.

I think they should simply have a dropdown when you create a report that allows you to select what type of output you would like, KB/MB/TB/PB, even B if you really want. It would save a lot of hassle.

Thanks for mentioning that Tazal.

Yes, there is a limit to the number of characters in the column name and you can modify accordingly to not cross the limit and if I am not wrong, it is arounnd 25 characters.
However, in most cases you can modify the custom name to not exceed 25 characters .

Thankyou guys very much for the inputs. It was really helpful.
