Dell PowerEdge VRTX - Expand Raid-5 Volume
Hello,
we're currently setting up a new Raid-5 with 4 disks on a Dell PowerEdge VRTX.
Later this year we're planning to expand this Raid to 5 or 6 disks.
This post (from 2014) says it's not possible to expand an existing raid-5. Is this still true?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Peter

Mops2016,
Unfortunately it is true. This page will show you that while some options are available with the Perc 8, reconstructs and Raid expansions are not supported.
Hope this helps clarify.
