Expanding Existing Capacity of RAID 5 Array

Dear All,

 

Currently I'm Using HP Proliant DL380 G5 server with HP Smart Array P400 RAID Controller. 3 146GB SAS 10k disks are attached to the Array and 3 Logical Partitions are Created for User Data. Now I'm running out of Disk space and Plan to Upgrade the server by attaching 3 more 146GB SAS disks. I have few concerns on following areas;

 

  1. Can I add more Disks to the existing Disk Array ( In my Scenario 3 more disks) with out braking the array?
  2. Can I Expand the capacity of Logical Partition's sizes of Exsisting partition?
  3. What are the software tools can I use?
  4. Can all this operation run On-Line?

Please advice me on this
