I bought dedicated server and after installing Plesk panel I can see under the server information tab it is showing me the total storage available: 1.7TB. lsblk output is:

lsblk output

But I had bought server with 4TB of storage (2000GBx2) Is there any way to make use of other hard drive or merge them /mount them so that I could use total 4TB memory? How is this achievable?

    You did not do the sane thing and order it with 2 discs in a RAID 1 configuration to start with? – TomTom Jun 21 '15 at 10:31

    Typically servers are configured with RAID for reliability and data protection and with only two disks those will be mirrored... That would explain why you only have the capacity of a single 2 TB disk available. – HBruijn Jun 21 '15 at 10:31
  • I have installed centos without raid but still it took 2TB as swap – mysql Jun 21 '15 at 10:32

    That screenshot show two drives with ~1.8T each. What exactly is your problem? – Mat Jun 21 '15 at 11:03

You don't have a filesystem in your sdb1 partition, that is why you cannot use the space.

You can use RAID0 to merge the two devices into one logical device, and then install the OS there. Or you can create a filesystem into sdb1 and then mount the filesystem into some directory.
