We have a 12 bay HP P2000 SAS Enclosure with 6 drives on RAID 5 installed. The drives are configured as 2 separate DataStores for a VMWare vSphere ESXi setup.
Now we want to add:
- 6 additional drives
- Configure RAID for new disks
- Add as a separate datastore to vSphere
Are there any guides on the whole process? I Googled and found some nice ones for item 3 but not 1 & 2.
Thank you.

The HP P2000 G3 manual and SMU Reference Guide cover this quite well. The basic overview is:
For the P2000 side, there's a "Provisioning Wizard" in the web interface that will guide you through the process. Please refer to that section in the SMU Reference Guide.
