Question : E200i RAID controller Array Expansion

Hi Guys,

I have a HP ML350G5 Server with a E200i RAID controller & 4 x disks in RAID5.

I've added another disk to the server, run the HP array configuration utility & expanded the array to take advantage of the additional storage.

I did believe that this would expand my array with the additional space but in Disk Manager it is being displayed as unallocated space.

Is there a way of merging the partition & unallocated space or do I need to use a 3rd party application?

Many thanks in advance.

2003 or 2003 R2?  Not that it would make any difference.  

If the additional space needs to be added to the C:\ drive then you will need to do it from a boot disk.  If it's any other drive than the OS drive, you don't need to do it from a boot disk.

You will need to select the disk, then the partition before running the extend command.
