As my D: disk is almost full (2TB) I extended the FC lun to 2.5TB. The new 500Go are seen by windows as "Unalloacted" as expected. I tried to extend the volume but windows says "The is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation"

I read on the web that the disk should be configured as GPT and as a dynamic and it's already a dynamic gpt disk...

How can I extend my disk without any data loss? My operating system is Windows 2008 R2 x64 SP1 and the SAN a 3PAR

I hope someone can help me :)

Thank you very much
