BIG-IQ :: Add Hard Disk to VE
Ok, my Google-fu is lacking today. More coffee needed perhaps.
But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to add another disk (virtual hard drive) to my BIG-IQ VE. I don't want to expand the current disk... which is what I am finding all of the articles pertain to (and which I already know how to do). My desire is to add another HD (via HD2) to the VE.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

It seems that the VE can see the drive... but I can't install to it:
root@(big-iq)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) install sys software image BIG-IQ-6.1.0-0.0.1224.iso create-volume volume HD2.1
root@(big-iq)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos)
root@(big-iq)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) show sys software status

HD1.1 BIG-IQ 6.0.0 0.0.1674 yes complete
HD2.1 BIG-IQ 6.1.0 0.0.1224 no failed (Can't find requested disk HD2.)
I assume I am missing a step here.
Thanks in advance! -R
