Raid 5 Adding 2 drives to existing array

I have a NetServer LC2000r, Single P3-933GHz (P2479A) with a Symbios Logic 896, 22910 PCI SCSI Adapter. I currently have 4 18.2GB Hot-Swap drives configured in a RAID-5 array (using Windows 2000 Disk Management software). I would like to add two (2) drives with 18.2GB Hot-Swap drives (P1166A). Can I simply plug them in and create another drive?

Re: Raid 5 Adding 2 drives to existing array

I am sorry to say but that is really a question more for Microsoft than for HP. I think MS Server OS (NT/2000/2003) will allow you to add capacity to an existing array, but I really don't konw how you could do it.

Have you checked Microsoft's web site for more info on adding capacity to an existing SW RAID5?
