adding second hard drive to a VE

I have F5 located in AWS and Azure. I am wanting to add a second hard drive to the VE for storing configuration information on the second disk.  I don't want to use the disk for booting, just strictly data storage like that is done on servers.

Is this possible?

    You can add a second disk but it cannot be used for any system function like storing configuration files and logs. It would work only as a storage for data you manually put in there. For example you could manually move old logs to archive them there but TMOS will not interact with that disk.

      Cool.  I have added the second drive and I see the drive in the GUI.  How do i access that drive through the CLI.

      I create a bash script that would be called by iCall.  The script would copy certificate and keys, along with virtual server configurations. 

      Is there an article on this from F5
