Extend disk space on ESI controllers #606

The new RHELAI images are pretty big (15-20 GB). We do have roughly 200 GB of free space on each controller, but perhaps more would be safer?

@tzumainn I've added 4x drives to each controller. 4 and 5 have 4x480G SSDs. 1 has 4x900G HDD (because the slot size is different so this is all I had). Probably putting them in a raid-z pool is best

@hakasapl thanks! dumb question - how do I make them "usable"? When I run df -h the available disk appears to be the same, but I assume I have to do something... ?

If they don't have a partition you probably will see them in lsblk, if you are doing zfs you can just create a pool with the block devices then. If they also don't show up in lsblk then we probably need to make them non-raid in the raid controller which will probably require rebooting the controller so hopefully we don't have to do that
