Hello, hoping to find some help here, don't want to screw anything up.
I inherited an MSA1040 with a RAID10 linear pool of 6 disks with a dedicated spare. Connected to this is are 2 virtual hosts running VMWare, currently running very low on storage. I have 5 more disks that were purchased and never installed, and i'd like to add as much additional storage to this pool as possible.
If I attempt to modify the disk group, I can check the "Expand" box, and this is what comes up, and i'm unable to check any of the additional disks unless I choose "additional sub-groups" and can add them as RAID1-4 and 1-5 as shown here.
Is this the proper method to go about expanding this storage, without affecting my current production environment (other than slowing it down temporarily) that's connected to the array? I don't want to expand this improperly and cause a major outage. Any help is appreciated
