Hi,
I added a RAID 5 Disk (3 * 4TB = 7.28TB usable) from a Dell Poweredge R720 server to my storage pool named "Backups".
The Physical disk was nearly full so I extended the RAID disk using Dell Server Administrator by adding another physical disk to the RAID array (4 * 4TB = 10.91TB usable).
However, in the Storage Pool GUI in Server 2012 SP1 the Physical Disk still only shows as 7.28TB even though the disk is actually 10.91TB.
Can anyone explain how I can extend the capacity of the physical disk in Storage Spaces to match the actual size of the now extended physical RAID disk? I have tried rebooting and refreshing but it doesn't update the new size.
When I look in the orginal disk management tool I can see the RAID disk listed at the correct 10.91TB.
Also when I use powershell I get the following:
