extend volume with diskpart?

Hello,

I need to extend an existing RAID5 disk with additional space.
It's setup on a HP Smart Array controller, so extending the Logical drive is
easy.

Just to make sure I am not doing anything wrong, I want to ask how to use
"diskpart" properly.
Here is the configuration:

DISKPART> list disk

Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ---------- ------- ------- --- ---
Disk 0 Online 34 GB 0 B
* Disk 1 Online 957 GB 0 B

--> DISK 1 needs to be extended
(Note: Logical drives not extended right now, therefore free space is 0)

DISKPART> list volume

Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------
Volume 0 R CD-ROM 0 B Healthy
Volume 1 C System NTFS Partition 8001 MB Healthy
System
Volume 2 D Data1 NTFS Partition 20 GB Healthy
Volume 3 S Swap NTFS Partition 6722 MB Healthy
Pagefile
Volume 4 F Data2 NTFS Partition 957 GB Healthy

DISKPART> select volume 4

Volume 4 is the selected volume.

DISKPART> list partition

Partition ### Type Size Offset
------------- ---------------- ------- -------
Partition 1 Extended 957 GB 8033 KB
* Partition 2 Logical 957 GB 8064 KB

DISKPART> detail volume

Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ---------- ------- ------- --- ---
* Disk 1 Online 957 GB 0 B

Readonly : No
Hidden : No
No Default Drive Letter: No
Shadow Copy : No

The Volume 4 should be extended.
Do I simply type "extend" after additional harddisks are installed and
available as free space to do this?
Or are there additional parameters necessary?

For soon reply thanks in advance,

Regards,
Markus
