Viewing the Disk Usage widget

You can view the disk space status and remaining disk life information with the Disk Usage widget on the Appliance Dashboard.

Procedure

  1. On the Appliance Dashboard, locate the Disk Usage widget.
    The disk usage statistics are displayed.
    Disk Space Pie Chart
    Information about used disk space and free disk space is visualized in the pie chart.
    Used space
    Displays how much space (in GB) is already used.
    Note: Most of the disk space is typically used by log files and trace files. To minimize the disk footprint, set the virtual appliance to store log and trace files on a remote server. You can also clear unused log and trace files on a periodic basis.
    Free space
    Displays how much space (in GB) is available.
    Total space
    How much space in total (in GB) is available to the virtual appliance.
    Note: The disk space in a hardware appliance is limited by the capacity of the hard disk drive it holds.
