471-IMPORTANT: UEFI Variable space is close to exceeding the nonvolatile storage capacity

Symptom

471-IMPORTANT: The UEFI Variable space is close to exceeding the nonvolatile storage capacity. This may impact OS installations and may limit the ability to configure certain options.

Cause

The nonvolatile storage where UEFI Variables are stored for use by the system firmware, device firmware, and UEFI-aware operating systems is close to reaching the maximum capacity.

Action
To reduce the UEFI Variable space, restore manufacturing defaults in the UEFI System Utilities:
  1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > System Default Options > Restore Default Manufacturing Settings.
  2. Press Enter.
  3. Select Yes, restore the default settings.
