ML350, CQPONLIN and Netware 6.5 with NSS volumes

[Meredith Harmon]

We have a HP ML350 running Netware 6.5 with NSS volumes. It is setup with a raid 5 controller and 3 of the 36gig hot swap external drives. I added a 4th drive to the Array, and the array expanded successfully.
However, how when I go into the Netware utility to expand the volumes it fails. I run the NSSMU utility, it sees the new device that was created by adding the drive. However when I try to create the partition it says there is no drive space available. I have not rebooted the server since the drive array successfully expanded, since people are using the server today. I looked with the Cpqonlin utility and it has the new logical drive added to the array and expanded, with 4 drives showing in the array.

You have to enter the device menu in NSSMU and initialize the new disk first.

[Meredith Harmon]

Initialize the disk after the disk array has been expanded to facilitate the new disk?
Or should I have done that prior to adding it to the array?

[Steffen Noll]

Yes, first expand the array and create with cpqonlin a new logical drive, then initialize this disk with F3 in NSSMU.
