I could be wrong, but I suspect that any information you get from the GUI will simply tell you how much of the raw storage has been configured as volumes that can be used by the operating systems connected to your DS8k. The GUI cannot make sense of the data on the volumes. To the GUI, I think those volumes appear to be no more than a stream of zeros and ones. It cannot tell the difference between unused space and data. To ascertain the utilization of those volumes, you must use the commands or utilities executed on the operating systems that know them as data.
