Now, i wants to install additional 02 Hard drives without effecting current set-up or rebuild RAID

below is my action

1. Install additional Hard drive (02 nos.) detected in PERC 6/i controller

2. as per document i had installed Dell openmanage software 5.3 on (root)

3. open port 1311 for management and start services in esx

ISSUE:
