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
