expanding on SmartArray 440ar
Hello
I have proliant dl360gen9 with SmartArray 440ar(fw4.52) and RAID5 of 5 sas 6gbs 10rpm 900Gb on it. I need to expand RAID array with 2 SAS 12gbs 10rpm 900Gb. Is it possible from smart array storage in windows 2012r2?

It looks like you want to add the two new disks to the same RAID5 array. Yes it is possible with the "online array expansion" features of the 440ar.

Re: expanding on SmartArray 440ar
Thank you for your reply.
I supposed that it is possible but how and where it in smart array?
I uploaded screenshot from array options - http://clip2net.com/s/3JpEu9l
And there is only Move option there but not expand.
I've already read that i should erase disks before this. It took a time but I did and... nothing changed, still have no any options to expand.

Re: expanding on SmartArray 440ar
Do you see the new drives connected and available in the 440ar? (Need I ask if you actually inserted the drives in the cage?)

Re: expanding on SmartArray 440ar
Good question!!!
No! They're lying in the cupboard and raid controller near them.
Definitely, they both attached and moreover were built as RAID 1 and it worked. But now i wish expand RAID5 that is on first 5 disks. I distoyed RAID1, erased disks but can't to add them to exist array

Re: expanding on SmartArray 440ar
What does it show in the "Logical Devices" screen? You need to be in that screen to expand the existing array. And why does it say "2 arrays, 2 logical devices" undet the "Logical Devices" icon?

Re: expanding on SmartArray 440ar
I know where I need to be to expand. It was just a screen to show that drives placed to the server. Why you interested in second logical drive? It doesn't matter. There is a RAID0 there - http://clip2net.com/s/3JqTpsn
Below screens you want to see
When i click to Manage Data Drives (Manage the physical data drives in the array. Expand the array by adding data drives, replace one or more data drives, shrink the array by removing current data drives) i see just option for moving.
And after all we go back to my main question - what was done wrong and what i should do?
And precede any questions like that were before - https://community.hpe.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-ML-DL-SL/Expand-RAID-5-with-HP-Smart-Array-P440ar-Controller/td-p/6894611 , this is the same problem, but erasing drives disn't help.

Re: expanding on SmartArray 440ar
My last suggestion is to check or show us the status of the battery, the status and configuration of the cache memory and the licensing options.

Re: expanding on SmartArray 440ar
http://clip2net.com/s/3Js9KZM - battery, cache. Battery was changed some months ago with help of local HP tech support.
http://clip2net.com/s/3JsazAg - license.

Re: expanding on SmartArray 440ar
Click on "View more details" on the "controller cache details". Do you have write cache configured?
