combining promise sx4000 RAID cards possible?

[chelldis]

HI,

A windows 2003 based storage aray, containing 2 sx4000 RAID cards, each has 4 disks attached, each card and 4 disks are configured RAID 5, lets call them raid-set01 and raid-set02.
raid-set01 is full, raid-set02 doesnt contain data.

I want to add raid-set02 to raid-set01, or at least have windows believe its one disk/raidset. To me the only way to do this is to combine the cards in some way, or at least configure it in such a way that card-01 and card-02 can communicate with both disk-sets, maybe like in an SSA-loop.
Is this at least possible? Ive tried to disband raid-set02 and convert them to jbod's, but when I want to add them to raid-set01 it says,"disk array has no raid mode available", so this isnt an option.

There is no way to do this via the hardware, you will have to add it to disk manager and extend the partition.
