Hi,
I currently own an F5-221 loaded with 5 WD 4TB disks configured as a RAID 5 array.
I want to replace the five HDD with 8TB ones (one at a time I guess...).
I checked the storage manager but found no "Upgrade" item...
Thanks for your help
replace RAID5 HDD with larger ones
Re: replace RAID5 HDD with larger ones
You should pull out one HDD from RAID5, and insert a new 8TB one at power on stage, then go to Storage pool - click Edit and choose "Repair the RAID" from the list. RAID resyncing would start, please leave it until resyncing is finished.
And you can repeat the process to replace the 4TB drives with 8TB drives one by one.

Re: replace RAID5 HDD with larger ones
Replaced all five disks, RAID 5 repair finished, storage pool now reports the increased capacity (on the storage pool tab).
How do I increase the volume size? If I click edit on the Volume, the storage pool size has not been updated...
Thanks in advance

Please try to restart and see if the Storage Pool size can be updated.
