SolutionYou don't mention what RAID card you are using, but I'm assuming it's a SmartArray of some form...
Basically, yes you need to change the disks one at a time, and let the RAID-5 array rebuild before swapping the next one.
Once you've swapped all the drives, you will need to use the ACU (Array Configuration Utility) to expand the logical drives to use the new space.
You will also need to do something at the OS level once this has completed to be able to see the extra space, however you don't mention which OS you're using. Assuming Windows you may well need to look at the diskpart utility.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob

Re: Adding more space to Proliant ML370G3 with RAID 5
The server has windows 2003. Once I finish the process, do I have to restore data from a backup or the data stays intact?

Re: Adding more space to Proliant ML370G3 with RAID 5
It's always a good idea to ensure that you have a verified backup however, just in case...
Cheers,
Rob
