Trying to add additional raid drive to existing raid array

I’m trying to add 2 additional drives to my raid array. The first question is do I ignore the new drive or initialize the new drive. Disk utility keeps running when attempting to add the new drive

How do I concatenate 4 drives to JBOD Sorry to be so basic, but I have a redundant Raid 5 with 4 disks and want to create a Concatenated JBOD to use as a backup drive and don't seem to be able to convert the Raid 5. I keep getting 4 individual drives, not concatenated. Believe it or not, I have looked at all sort of forums and Apple Support but none give explicit instructions. All talk about JBOD to RAID5 but not the reverse. I'm sure this was not a problem with earlier OS's. Where I'm I going wrong, my: OS 12 Monterey Mac Pro

Where does the OSX RAID utility store the RAID configuration? If I have 5 HDDS. A single BOOT drive which is used to create the RAID with OSX RAID utility. I create using the 4 other drives, 2 mirror sets each of 2 drives and then stripe the 2 mirror sets. Linked questions: Where does OSX RAID utility store the RAID configuration? If the BOOT drive fails is the RAID configuration lost? Can you export and backup the RAID configuration?
