Adding Drive to RAID 5 PowerEdge 2650
We have a 2650 Dell Server with a RAID 5 configuration and 3x36GB 10K Drives. The drives are hot-swappable and there are two open slots in the server. We have the drives partitioned with a 12 GB partition for OS and other software and the balance is partitioned for SQL Server 2000 data.
We would like to add a fourth identical drive to provide additional storage space for SQL Server. Ideally this new drive would expand the existing D:\ partition. Can this be done? We have no experience adding drives to an existing SCSI setup. Can someone provide the steps necessary to add this drive or provide a link that might provide information?

Forgot to add Service Tag #: 9ZTXN21
Reading around a bit it seems that I can plug in the drive and run the ArrayManager to add the disk to the current Virtual Disk? Does this sound correct?
