Hi JAB,
Sound interesting, however, I'm actually a newcomer to Scale, I wish I
could share the joy of mixing that. I guess maybe it is something similar
to LSF RVU/UVUs? Thanks for sharing your experience anyway.
Hi Carl,
I just want to let you know that I have got your explanation, and I

Yes, it’s a pain. IBM and DDN are trying very hard to work something out, but
it’s hard to get all the ‘I’s dotted and ‘T’s crossed with

I apologize for the confusion. Within IBM Storage when we say “capacity”
licensing we use that as an umbrella term for both Per TB/PB *or* Per Drive
