Check free disk space in server

Hi,

I need about 500G space in one corporate solaris server.
However, I am not sure which command to use to check this.
There are few volume groups in the server, and I deleted unused, old volume groups to clear some space.

However, now I am not sure how to check the free space itself.

Please help.

Regards,
ana

Unsure what you mean by trying to find free space.
It may include:
1) space assigned to a volume group and available for file storage
2) space on the physical disk(s) that has not yet been assigned

Another way to think about this is a minivan with removable seats.
1) You are driving and there are four seats installed; meaning three seats available. But, there is space with no seats installed!!!
2) You are driving with a friend and there are all seven seats now installed; meaning you have five seats available.
