Extend Logical Drive

I have a G4 DL380. The 6i embeded card has a raid 1 - drive C: with OS consisting on (2) 72 GB drives and raid 5 - drive D: with data only consisting of (4) 72 GB hard drives. We needed to increase the space on drive D: so we purchased (4) 146 GB drives and already swapped them one by one with each 72 GB drive in the raid 5. I already updated the fw and driver for the 6i card to latest. The final step is to extend the logical drive to use all available space. This is where I am not sure what will happen. Using the online ACU am I able to extend the logical size to use all unused space or I have to delete the existing logical drive, create new drive, and restore from backup? Thanks.
