Hi asif
I would like to know if your DS it attached to VA7000 Family? In this case, The things you need to do is unpluging disks and pluging new disk.( VA has hot spare disk)
If it stand alone? it is only extend disks. And your data must be lost! at least one server lost data. Hmm this case you must recover from backup data.
1. Change new disk
2. pvcreate
3. lvcreate
4. newfs
5.mount and restore data
I will give you detail procedure if you expaind more your server connection diagram
Best regard
