Expand array raid5 HP MSA 1000 - ESX 3.5

Dear All,

I have to add 3 300 GB brand new drives to my SAN HP MSA 1000 (FC) Raid 5 Array (5 disk + 1 spare).

The goal is to create one new LUN and thus one new VMFS 3.x Volume on this one with no impact on 2 existing LUN.

I want to perform the Expand operation with CLI on MSA1000 via console cable with the following command:

expand unit # diskrange

# one of the LUN within the target array

Ex.

expand unit 4 disk204-disk207

Is there something wrong on that? Could you add some further detail?

Thanks!

Alessandro
