Best approach to move RAID 1 (OS) to higher capacity drives

$

Hello All!

On my Dell PE R710 I have two 300gb 15k SAS drives mirrored as RAID 1 that I want to upgrade to 15k 600gb SAS drives. I have seen so many different opinions online about how to do this and now my head is spinning. I am looking for the most painless solution, if possible.

So, while the server is powered on, do I remove one old 300gb drives and add a new 600gb drive and let it rebuild? Then do the same with the second drive? Once that is finished do I claim the new space in Disk Manger in server manager? The server is a Power Edge R7100 with a H700 PERC

Thanks!
