If this isn't a current feature it would be helpful.

I am trying to determine the amount of space I have remaining on my Starwind SAN. I have been just adding up the size of the .img files but I am now looking at a new project that may push the limit of my license.

Thanks,

Not sure what you mean. Do you mean UNDERLYING storage we use to conver to iSCSi or actual space on emulated iSCSI disk?

I have a 4TB HA license and it would be nice to know how close I am. I can create a test .img file and make it large enough that the software will tell me how much I am over but it would be nice to just click a tab, link or menu item and have the amount free/used there.

I've got your idea, something like a bar on the lower side of the console showing Used/remaining space.
This is definately a good idea, I will talk with our developers about this.
