I have a DL380 G7 with a single drive cage (7 - 300Gb drives, 2 - mirrored for ESXi 5.5, 5 - RAID 5 Array for storage). I need to add additional storage. In past I have added another controller, drive cage and 5 more 300Gb drives. I am looking to do the same but need to know if there is an HP RAID Controller that will control BOTH drive cages. All the controllers I have found only have 2 internal connections, which only supports a single drive cage. Is there some other piece I am missing? Or is this just not possible?
I don't want 2 - 1Tb Datastores, I want 1 - 2Tb datastore without rip and replace of existing drives.
Help???
