Dell PowerVault MD3200i disk storage capacity upgrade
We are planning to upgrade the disk storage capacity of our Dell PowerVault MD3200i. Currently our disk storage has the following specifications:
Current Disk Storage Configuration: 16.4 TB, 8 units 3TB SAS Disk
We are planning to additional 4 units of 3TB disks. Any one can guide us on this specially in configuring and adding 4 more 3TB disks without erasing or destroying the file system and the contents.
Thank you,
DELL-Daniel Ca

Hello, xanderham8.
It's absolutely possible to add physical disks to existing virtual disks without destroying the file system. In fact, there's a built in function for doing so.
In this Administrator's Guide, on page 101, you'll find the instructions:

Let me know if you have any questions. Have a great rest of the week!
