Uh... you don't generally extend RAID 5. But if your hardware raid solution has unutilized disks (or disks you can add), you can create a new logical hw raid disk and easily add that disk into existing volume groups. If you have left over space on your existing logical disk, that too can be added quite easily. You need to provide more info.
