SAN expansion with Basic disks instead of Dynamic?

Hi all,
From what I've read, dynamic disks are not supported as shared drives
when using a Windows 2003 cluster, only basic disks.
What happens when you want to add more capacity to your cluster's shared
disk by adding more physical disks to the SAN? Will it work if the
shared disks are basic? I thought you needed to use dynamic disks to do
this?
thanks a lot,
alec
It is possible but it isn't easy. It also depends on how the manufacturer
presents the LUN to the OS.
