Adding Hard Drives to a Host server?

I will be up front and let you know I am new to VMware.  I literally just started working with it yesterday.  We are looking to start using VMware very soon, and  plan on getting on some trainnng but lucky we just retired a server and I got the OK to play with it.  Here is the Setup
I

t was standard Windows 2003 server (HP DL380) with a 2 Disk mirror and a 3 Disk Raid 5.  I wiped the drives, left the Raids intact and Installed ESXi 5.1 and it picked the mirrored drives and installed fine. I install a test server on it and now it is out of room, how do I add the Larger Raid 5 to the storage?  what if later on we add more drives, how do I them to it as well.  I know I could wipe it and blow away the raids but I would like know how to add drives to the HOST if I need to later on.  I am useing the Vsphere Client 5.1 as well.

 

I have googled it but all I found was how to add drives to guest OS, but I need to add the HOST server instructions.  Thanks for any help you offer.
