What RAID configuration are you using? Only RAID 5/6 can be expanded, RAID 10 you have to replace every disk one by one with bigger ones then extend (not expand).

Well that's good news then . Go to the logical tab, not the physical view, then right click on the drive group and modify it. Add the new disks then right click on the RAID 6 VD and extend it.

Up 2 from that. 'Drive Group: 0, RAID 6', right click on that.
