Important:  Monitoring the compression ratio and if required applying adjustments to the configuration is essential. This is a customers responsibility. 

## 10.2 Capacity Reporting in GUI, CLI, and IBM Storage Insights 

This section demonstrates how to display the used, provisioned, and effective capacity in the GUI, CLI, and in IBM Storage Insights. 

## 10.2.1 Capacity Reporting in the GUI Dashboard 

The Capacity section on the Dashboard provides an overall view of system capacity. This section displays bar graphs for physical capacity and provisioned capacity, and also displays the compression ratio, compression savings, and historical charts. 

The FlashSystem 900 Model AE3 GUI Dashboard shown in Figure 10-4 displays the following information (the numbers correspond to those in the figure): 

1. Compression ratio 

2. Total usable (physical) capacity 

3. Total provisioned capacity 

4. Actual used effective capacity 

5. Projected used capacity 

6. Stored (physical) capacity 

7. Available usable (physical) capacity
