Re: How to extend logical drive on MSA1000?
you should expand the respective array by 2 new disks and then you can expand the logical drive of that particular array...

Re: How to extend logical drive on MSA1000?
What have you checked so far? The logical drive is part of an array group of disks. Is it all 8 of them? The disk raid is driven by a raid controller and that's where you perform the raid operations. Which raid controller is it?

Re: How to extend logical drive on MSA1000?
see the following doc:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00709035/c00709035.pdf?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN
abstract:
You can increase the storage space on an array by adding physical drives. However, the added drives
must be of the same type (for example, parallel SCSI or SATA), and they must each have a capacity no
less than that of the existing drives in the array.
If the operating system supports logical drive extension, you can use any unassigned capacity on an
array to enlarge one or more of the logical drives on the array.

Re: How to extend logical drive on MSA1000?
1. Run backups
2. insert the new disks
3. Perform array expansion (add the new drives to array A)
4. Perform logical drive expansion
Be patient when the logical drive expansion starts. It can take hours and go into days.
You did not say what you are planning to do with the added apace within the OS, neither what the OS is, but there is another step to add the new space to the OS. You either expand existing volumes (in Linux) or partitions (in windows) or create new ones.
