Resolution

The capacity overview information, gives detailed description regarding the disk space that has been provisioned, which includes the space utilized by the resources (such as Virtual Machines) and the available disk space that can be consumed for further usage.

The below Figure 1 gives complete idea on how to analyze the disk space utilized.

In the above figure, the total disk space provisioned is 134 TB, out of which the disk space that has been utilized by resources is 91 TB and the free disk space that is available for further consumption is 43 TB.


Additional Information

In order to see more detailed breakdown of disk usage, follow the below steps:
1. Choose the Cluster
