You will need both hardware and software expansion

There is an article in the knowledgebase on how to expand the hardware.

You will need to buy an expansion license for the additional capacity that you want to expand to.
there is a 16TB license available, that will get you to 25TB

Get a SAS expander card and a SAS expansion chassis. They're normally kind of expensive, but you can buy SAS expander cards that break out one SAS x4 port into 24 or 32 SAS ports. Put them in your chassis of choice. And, of course, get an Open-E license expansion key.

BTW, when is online expansion (without auto-failover going down) going to be enabled?

I know online expansion currently works, but you can't have it be autofailover without stopping the autofailover task.
