hi ALL,
we have logical drive raid5 with 6 300GB physical disk, now replaced all 5 disks wich 600GB ones and we are going to replace the last 300GB one woth the 600GB one
after this last replace with 600GB all disks will be 600GB, so then we need to extend logical drive and then from windows disk managment resize the releted D drive on server
may you say me which is the correct procedure (steps) to do ??
