You cannot modify the screen.

You can, however, add this as a feature request in the Ideas section.  Make a business case for it.  Why is it needed, etc?

From the Home tab - System Health - Is "Storage Status" checked ?

Have you tried the configuration tasks widget in BE 15 FP3?

When outstanding critical tasks are detected, the home page icon image is changed as shown below. This will indicate to the administrator to switch to the home tab.

Apart from various configuration tasks the widget also alerts for Storage configuration. Following are the checks done and alerted for storage configuration deviations,

Storage Space

  • Following tasks are generated when space thresholds are crossed
    • Critical severity task when a device reaches its critical threshold.
    • Warning severity task when a device reaches its warning threshold.
    • Informational severity when a device reaches its low space threshold.
    • Action link opens the storage view. Here customers can review the storage consumed by the device and take necessary steps.
  • The task is removed after the available space is sufficient.
  • Storage space is not checked for cloud storage and virtual disk storage devices.
