The `show`` ``disk` command displays the disk space that is used. Use this command to verify the amount of free disk space on the NIOS and vNIOS virtual appliances. Infoblox recommends that you regularly check the available disk space. Clear off outdated logs to maintain maximum available disk space. You should not allow the disk to become completely full because this can be detrimental to the performance of the appliance.
