hi, I know how to expand the array, but it always ends up with a firmware error
this is MR not SR controller

Hi,

Any drive that you want to add must meet the following criteria:

=>It must be an unassigned drive.

=>It must be of the same type as existing drives in the array example, NVMe SSD, SAS HDD, SAS SSD, SATA HDD, or SATA SSD.

=>It must have a capacity no less than the capacity of the smallest drive in the array.

=>This operation uses the Modify Array option in the HPE MR Storage Administrator user interface. This feature is supported when there is a single logical drive configured in the array.

Refer:-https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=sd00002176en_us&docLocale=en_US&page=GUID-29FA0C8A-C2E5-4F5A-988F-2B77772F912A.html

If the above criteria are met, I would suggest reflashing the latest controller firmware and updating the controller driver to the latest version. 

If the issue persists, please open a support case with HPE for further investigation including log analysis
