Hi all, I'm attempting to expand a logical drive on a Server running VSphere 5.1. I've successfully replaced each of the physical drives in the array with larger drives, and now I want to run the following command to expand the logical drive:
Esxcli - s <server ip address> hpacucli cmd –q “controller slot=3 logicaldrive 1 modify size=max
However, the command fails to run and informs me that I must use forced mode to make this change.
Any ideas on how I invoke forced mode?
Thanks in advance
Hi..
Have you tried to append forced at the end to see if this does the trick?
"Esxcli - s <server ip address> hpacucli cmd –q “controller slot=3 logicaldrive 1 modify size=max forced".

Thanks Rubeck, I'll try this command later this evening and get back to you tomorrow.
Hi apologies but I have not been able to run this command yet. Hopefully I'll be able to try this comand later this evening.
Thanks Rubeck, the command that you sent me last Wednesday has done the trick ![]()
Excellent.. enjoy ![]()
