You can create new drive with new db's and move the mailboxes to new db's. Or you can also move the whole db to new drive. However, to reclaim whitespace, mailbox move would be a better option.<br><br>

Thank you both of you for your immediate response to my request.
i am starting the creation of new mailbox dbs,

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have an exchange dag 2016 with two members and i am running almost out of available space.<br />
we have used all the available dbs that we can have by using the standard version and finally we upgraded to enterprise in order to split the users' mailboxes in more dbs for better handling (for the future). Both severs have two disks &quot;C:\&quot; and &quot;G:\&quot; and the databases are stored on &quot;G:\&quot; drive. The problem is that i cannot expand anymore the lun from the SAN and i have to create another new. My question is &quot;Can i add a third drive in both servers i.e. the &quot;H:\&quot; drive and on this to start create the new dbs in which i will move the users' mailboxes?&quot; . Should i configure anything on both exchange or simply I add the new drive in both servers and then i create the dbs on the new directory? Is it supported from exchnage dag to have the dbs on more than one drive, i.e. &quot;G:\&quot; and &quot;H:\&quot; ?
