Hello thanks for choosing Dell. According to this document here, looks like it's up to 32.

Please let us know if you have any further questions. Have a good one. 

Dear Young E,

Thank you for sharing the link. Based on the information provided, it appears that the maximum number of drives supported is 32. However, our server only has 18 hard drive bays.Reconfigure option is not visible under the controller.

I would appreciate it if you could suggest any alternative solutions to help us expand our storage capacity.

Thank you,

Parminder

Hey Young E, 

We tried the exact same steps under the video shared by you but still we do not see the reconfigure option. Also as per this article https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-ca/poweredge-rc-h730p/perc9ugpublication/reconfigure-virtual-disks?guid=guid-aad79692-439f-4743-bfbe-1f054957cd49&lang=en-us we added a bigger hard disk and rebuild it. After rebuilding we still don't see an option to reconfigure the virtual disk to increase the capacity of our Raid 10 setup. 

As per this guide https://dl.dell.com/content/manual9961157-dell-emc-poweredge-raid-controller-9-user-s-guide-h330-h730-and-h830.pdf?language=en-us we should see the reconfigure disk option but that's not the case  

Hello would you be able to show us your idrac so that we can see your RAID configuration?

Hi Young, 

Please review the pdf file from idrac with raid configuration at https://drive.google.com/file/d/15_f8YlQVU_DZGbzHIxlI7ZFSa0PkIUtF/view?usp=sharing . Let me know if you need any other information from my end. 

Appreciate all your help. 

Thanks,

Parminder

PS: I've attached screenshots here as well. 

Hello Parminder Benipal,

Do you have a sliced array?

Online Capacity Expansion won't work on an array that is sliced.

Hi Charles, 

Thank you for quick reply,  where I can check this info under idrac if we have sliced array or not? 

Thanks,

Parminder

I would say you click on the highlighted in yellow that says Create Virtual Disk (I used your attachment) then start from there.

Hi Young & Charles, 

Do you think the span depth = 6 is the reason we don't see an option to reconfigure Virtual disk or Edit Disk capacity? 

Hello, do you know how many disks consist of 1 span for you at the moment?

Hello could you click on the virtual disks in blue  and show us?

Hello Parminder Benipal,

Have you taken a look at the System Setup and checked that everything looks like it does in the tutorial video that was provided?
