When we deployed the data-va virtual machine, it was automatically configured with several VMDK files totaling 175 GB. However, only one of these files is configured to store Horizon Files blobs (user data) and by default is only 10 GB in size.
So the first thing we need to do is to add some additional disk space so that we can manage our Horizon Files storage resources and user requirements.
