V7000: Finding the exact volume size in bytes
In certain situations you need to know the exact byte size of a volume. Unfortunately the GUI does not provide exact sizing.

At this point the only way to figure out the exact size of a volume is through the CLI.
The following command will give you the exact byte size
svcinfo lsvdisk -bytes nameofthevolume
