Default IBM x225 - LDM - Undo "Increasing Free Space?"

We added a new harddrive into the IBM Server x225. Originally, there
were 4 physical harddrives; configured as 3 logical drives with RAID5.
This new 5th hard drive was intended to increase the size of existing
logical drives.


ServRAID recognized this 5th newly added drive immediately after
plugged in. However, during the Logical Drive Migration, the
"Increasing Free Space" option was mistakenly selected as supposed to
"Increasing Logical Drive Space." After the resync, we only have an
option to create a new logical drive to this free space. How can we
undo the "Increasing Free Space" and proceed with "Increasing Drive
Space" so that we can add more space into the existing 3 logical
drives.

Any reason why cannot backup / restore?
