significant increase in front end storage usage report after 8.1.12 upgrade

[PeterOakes]

hey guys last week we upgraded from 7.1.6 server to 8.1.12 and over the week have seen a 15tb increase in the standard ops center front end usage report! only change is the server version and ops centre version and our environment has not grown by 15tb in a week. anyone has this happen after upgrading?

Hey.

7.1.6 is really old, my gut feel is that it's more likely that 7.1.6 was not reporting correctly given there's a few APARs over the years for front-end usage. So there's a good possibility that 7.1.6 was reporting 15 TB less than actual, rather than 8.1.12 reporting 15 TB more than actual.

Do you also get the same value when looking at QUERY STATUS?

To be on the safe side, probably worth opening a case with IBM to validate if the current report is accurate or not.
