How to extend a raid5
I have a md1400 with 5 -4TB disk current on a Perc H840 .. ran out of space so they want me to add and additional 7 drives ... what is the best way to do this? do you have to delete it and reset it up? can you do it with reconfigure in OMSA? DO you have to do one disk at a time or can I load up all 7 at the same time? obviously, I have never done this. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hello thanks for choosing Dell.
Please refer to this:
Online Capacity Expansion (OCE) can be done in two ways:
If there is a single virtual disk in a disk group and free space is available. The virtual disk’s capacity can be expanded within that free space.
If a virtual disk is created and it does not use the maximum size of the disk group, free space is available.
