hi,

check this quick spec to your raid card :

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13201_div/13201_div.html#Overview

go to ==> "Management Features"

Online Advanced Capacity Expansion (with BBWC/FBWC and Smart Array Advanced Pack upgrade)
Online logical drive extension (with BBWC/FBWC upgrade)
Online RAID level migration (with BBWC/FBWC upgrade)

Offline Mirror splitting and recombining (with BBWC/FBWC and Smart Array Advanced Pack upgrade)

now i'am not 100% sure if you need the :

or

in this case i would recommend to put the disk in to server bay and them try to use ACU, and check what for option are possible.
