Expand array on DL360 P408i-a

$

Hello all,

As the current array gets low on available disk space I want to expand the current array by adding 2 drives.

Server                  HPE ProLiant DL360 gen 10

Drives           6x   HPE 1TB 6G SFF internal drive (655710-B21)

Controller            HPE P408i-a SR Gen 10 raid controller

RAID 6

The complete array is being used by ESXi 7 (free) as a datastore.

I have tried a lot of things but can't find an option to expand the current array / logical drive.

- Run SPP for latest patches and updates

- SSA offline 4.15 ISO boot from system utilities

-  SSA boot ISO from intelligent provisioning

- Maintenance tools for array from intelligent provisioning (if i remember ok).

I see 6 drives assigned to the Array A, I do see the 2 drives I added appear in bay 7 and 8. They are identical to the other 6, only difference is they can be seen by OS and slightly different firmware. I can add them as spare drives to the array but the option to add them to the array is nowhere to be found. I have no smart cache but tried to disable the cache but still no result.

So what am I missing at this point to get the option to expand the array?
