Details are here:<BR /><BR /><A href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325590" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325590</A><BR /><BR />Hope this helps,<BR /><BR />Regards,<BR /><BR />Rob Fri, 04 May 2007 14:06:11 GMT Rob Leadbeater 2007-05-04T14:06:11Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/expanding-partitions-within-a-raid-5-array/m-p/3993870#M23714 I have a ProLiant ML350 G4 running server 2003 with 4 drives in RAID 5.<BR /><BR />The 4th drive in the array was recently added to provide more space. I have completed expansion of the logical drives using the array configuration utility.<BR /><BR />I now need to expand the partitions for each logical drive in order to utilize the newly created unallocated space.<BR /><BR />I have found out that it is not possible to use disk management to expand partitions on logical drives within a RAID 5 array. <BR /><BR />Are there any other possible solutions, which avoid destruction of data and if possible can be used whilst the server is active?
