Unified Manager vs System Manager Overcommitted Different ?

Can anybody shed light on why Unified Manager and System Manager show quite different numbers for how overcommitted an aggregate is ?

 

All of our aggregates exhibit the same behaviour with UM reporting quite a bit more overcommittment on every aggr.

 

 

THe Avaialble space , Used space and Total space are all the same. But UM shows an overcommit of 45% and System manager shows 30% in the exmple attached

 

Is this a reporting error in one ofe the tools or am I overlooking something ?

The following kb explains the difference in committed space in OCSM and OCUM:

So UM calculates overcommit by volume level taking into account the Maximum Auto-Grow size set on all volumes with it enabled as well. SM does not do this.

 

Hence the difference between the two tools.

 

Now to decide which measurement to 'use' 😉

Hi,

 

It maybe due to a bug in UM. Refer the links below:

THanks for the reply

 

Unfortunately neither of those bugs seem to apply to what we are seeing,

 

All aggregates are showing is more overcomitted in UM compared to SM , but not by the sort of numbers eluded to in those bugs. It feels like UM is counting something else , or twice , or somthing odd as all the figures are showing about 20% or so more than SM.
