Expanding Storage on R720

$

Hi

We have recently bought a R720 and currently have two 300GB SAS drives (for ESXi 5 install - configured as a mirror) and two 2TB SAS drives (for data - also configured as mirror).

We would like to expand this storage by adding an additional two 2TB SATA drives (to be configured as a mirror). First of all is this possible and most importantly, would we have to reboot into the lifecycle manager to build this additional array, or can it be done 'on the fly'? the vm's on the server are critical and i would prefer not having to shut it down for countless hours, while the array gets built.

Thanks

Karl
