The problem is that we are getting the following error "the array cannot be expanded because there are no physical drives available that are large enough". <BR />The two new disk have part number BD018122C0 <BR />Some of the other part numbers are DGHS18Y01C0, AD018335CA <BR />The array is type Smart-2DH firmware 3.08 Tue, 22 Jan 2002 00:00:00 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/18-2g-adding-problems/m-p/2649554#M3808 Ayman Altounji 2002-01-22T00:00:00Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/18-2g-adding-problems/m-p/2649555#M3809 Could it be that you can only have 7 drives per channel on that card? I'm not a 100% sure but that would explain why the controller doesn't see any more drives to expand to.
