We have just had a new server and it has 3 36.2gb hard drives installed. We are using raid 5 but would like to have a hot spare added at a later time. Is this possible without reconfiguring the whole of the raid array??
 
Yes, you can add an on-line spare to an existing array.

If it doesn't leak oil it must be empty!!
 
Use the Array Configuration Utility, there is an option there for adding an on-line spare.
