Virtual Machine with RHEL 9.4, larger than 64GB system partition

I need to provision an RHEL based Virtual Machine with larger than 80GB system partition. However, no matter how I configure the service, I only get a maximum of 63GB. There is some software that I need to install that verifies for these things. I am not able to resize the partition after creation.

Any input on how to sort this?

Additionally with the same image we are getting "microscopic" sized /var, /home, /tmp
Any idea on how to manage these partitions for the configuration process?

Regards

    @Nipen, Harald

    Most images from RHEL utilize LVM and need to be manually resized. The steps to increase the space are in the documentation here. If you need to perform this on boot you could include it as part of custom-data which executes on launch. Alternatively, you could modify your VM then create your own image from that, so no modification is needed after creation.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you still have questions or need further assistance.
