The page you are on is where you have the option for Raid Level Migration, if you were to select Raid 0 it would migrate the VD to a Raid 0. You are wanting to perform an Online Capacity Expansion to the Raid 5, so the Raid 5 would be the option to select. The Virtual Disk is extended after the reconfigure is completed.

Hi Chris,
Seems my previous reply to your post did not get posted.
Thanks for getting back to me. So choosing Raid 5 on the 2nd screen will just expand my existing Vdisk without any data loss?

It shouldn't affect the data, but I would recommend getting a complete backup of the data anytime you do anything in the Virtual Disks.
If you follow this link it will take you to a walkthrough on the process.
