AFAIK there are no online tools like hpacucli for FreeBSD. The  
original tools were withdrawn because of unspecified problems. It's  
very awkward. I'm about to install some new disks in an MSA20 and  
have to create a new RAID5 volume in the BIOS utility (losing a disk  
in the process) because there are no online tools to expand the  
existing volume.

If you can have the box offline for a day or two you can probably use  
the linux ACU tools from a Linux live CD to expand an array.

Sadly that's not an option for me.

best.
