You can view the Disk Usage pie chart on the appliance Dashboard to verify how much storage space is available on your appliance. You can migrate data on the appliance to an offboard-storage device, and migrate data stored on the virtual appliance or Remote Site Appliance (RSA) to an additional virtual disk to free up space. You can also delete unused images, boot environments, source media, and tasks.

If one or more Remote Site Appliances (RSAs) are associated with this appliance, the new license key is automatically updated on those RSAs after a synchronization.
