I added two disks to my raid array and reconfigured it through OMSA. It took a very very long time (like 3 days) but now it looks to be done however the storage pool has not increased. Not sure what I'm missing.

The RAID controller is H700. The RAID array is currently around 11 TB (but in OMSA it says 14.x TB, one disk for redundancy). Looks like it just left out a disk. But when I go to the storage pool, it has all the disks in there. So I'm not sure how to resize it.

Thanks.

I figured it out, it was a dumb thing. I thought I rebooted the server but when I went to the disk manager, I put the disk offline and the extra space showed up so I just expanded it and that was all. I'm not sure if the reconfigure was done before or after I rebooted the server (since it took so very long).
