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".
