You'll have to rescan/refresh to pick up the new changes and then extend the volume.

I've rebooted the server and that still didn't work
</div>


<div>
What firmware do you have on your H710? Have you tried to reconfigure the virtual disk in OMSA? What size were the disks before and after? Has the second rebuild completed yet?
</div>


<div>
I have the latest firmware installed 21.3.5-0002. &nbsp;When you say reconfigure virtual disk in OMSA, what should it be reconfigured to without destroying data? &nbsp;Yes, second rebuild completed days ago. &nbsp;The original size in OMSA was 136GB. &nbsp;New size is 600GB. &nbsp;Both OMSA &nbsp;and server Disk Management utility show the drive sizes as 136GB
</div>


<div>
You have to select the virtual disk and select a new size (or the whole of the free space). It's not data destructive but backup first anyway just for safety. <br />
<br />
Either that or you can create a second virtual disk using the free space which would show up as a second disk in Windows disk mangler.
</div>


<div>
I don't have that option in OMSA under virtual disk. &nbsp;Options are:<br />
<br />
Reconfigure<br />
Delete<br />
Check consistency<br />
Assign Hot Spare<br />
Blink<br />
Unblink<br />
Rename <br />
Change policy<br />
slow initialize<br />
fast initialize<br />
replace member disk<br />
<br />
I need to have the same drive letter for the free space.
</div>


<div>
Thank you for clarifying. &nbsp;Worked without issue.

Any ideas as to how I can change it to reflect new drive size?

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

RAID is data storage technology that allows multiple drives to be used together as a single virtual drive for reasons such as fault tolerance, reliability and performance. 

There are several different levels of RAID that determine how the data is stored and the level of redundancy achieved across the drives.

RAID

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
