RAID Capacity upgrade

[n3w]

Hey guys, Ive got some DL380's Gen10 with the following RAID controller :

Model HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10
Firmware Version 2.65
Controller Type HPE Smart Array

Capacity 38563 GiB (Need to make this over 100TB)
Fault Tolerance RAID 5
Logical Drive Type Data LUN
Encryption Status Not Encrypted

Currently have 24X HDD's :

Model EG001800JWJNR
Media Type HDD
Capacity 1800 GB

Im trying to upgrade the storage  on Logical Volume #2, (30TB - > 100+ TB) without power cycling or bringing the server/services down.

Is it possible to upgrade the total storage capacity on a physical host while not interupting the OS/Application? (not a virtualized enviroment)

If possible can anyone point me in the direction of the docs/ect so i can do a deep dive before i embark on this endeavour.

Thanks
