Rebooting was one of the first things I tried when I realised that the extra space could not be seen by the OS. Unfortunately doesn't make a difference.

firstly you must be sure everythin is ok about raid array configuration.
try to check your raid configuration in your term.
install HP Array Configuration Utility at below..
HP Array Configuration Utility CLI for Linux - HP Business Support Center
Code:
# hpacucli
=> rescan
=> ctrl all show status

can you see new array and new disk(s)?

Hi,

I have now resolved the issue by rebuilding the server having performed a full backup on the box.

My advise is do NOT extend the logical drive, simply opt to create a new logical drive. I have done this many times and there has never been an issue.

Regards,
D.
