A few questions:-
  • What have you tried so far?
  • What output/errors are you getting?
  • What OS and version are you using? Different ones have slightly different tools.
  • What information do you want? It could be:-
    • Total disk allocated to the server
    • Total disk allocated within the server (e.g. assigned to filesystems)
    • Total space used within filesystems
    • Space used within database
    • Performance usage
    • Perhaps something else?
  • What format do you need the output?
What's your thinking on these? If you are clearer then you will get a more useful answer.


Thanks,
Robin
