Expanding recently replaced RAID1 hard drives in Dell SAS 6/iR RAID card

I have a client who I replaced two 300GB 15k SAS drives this afternoon. I replaced them with 600GB drives. I initially made a backup image of the installation and then set to install one drive at a time and let the RAID1 rebuild itself. I have come to the conclusion that I'm not going to be able to create a second partition from the new amount of space that should be left over. Or is there a way to do this without blowing it away and then re-applying the image to the new RAID1 set? This server is using the SAS 6/iR RAID card.

Thank you for the help and quick responses.  I don't look forward to blowing away the RAID1 and applying the image.  I'll be hoping and praying it goes ok.
Good luck!
