It is not possible to expand the size of RAID10 by adding the disks to the existing RAID array, but there are other ways to expand the storage capacity.
One way to expand the storage space is, if you are using a Storage Pool, it can be expanded by adding new drives and use the drive in a separate RAID array to expand the capacity of the Storage Pool.
Another way to expand is to replace the existing drives with larger capacity drives, such that the total capacity of the existing RAID is expanded. Steps to perform this can be found in the link below:
