I believe it is possible with hardware RAID. as long as you got enough space for the newbe than it will be no problem. Also you can rollback easily iff something goes wrong.

NAME
lsimega - SCSI HBA driver for LSI MegaRAID 320-2x SCSI RAID Controller
The lsimega SCSI RAID host bus adapter driver is a SCSA-compliant nexus driver that supports LSI MegaRAID 320-2x SCSI RAID devices.
The lsimega driver supports standard functions provided by the SCSA interface, including RAID disk I/O and passthrough I/O to support
SCSI tape and CDROM.
DRIVER CONFIGURATION
The lsimega.conf file contains no user configurable parameters. Please configure your hardware through BIOS.
The LSI MegaRAID 320-2x device can support up to 40 logic drivers. Note that BIOS numbers the logic drives as 1 through 40, however in
Solaris these drives are numbered from 0 to 39.
