Eisy SSD - How to actually 'enable' it?

So i popped in a 1TB NVME I had sitting around, how do I actually have the system use it?  Granted it's complete overkill since I don't do fancy things with the Isy.. now Eisy, but it wasn't doing anything but collecting dust so figured I can pop it in.  First I thought to go into configuration of IoX, not there.  Then thought in Polyglot there would be a way to 'format' and at it.  Nope.  Are there instructions for it, because I couldn't find anything on the Eisy user guide I used to migrate off of ISY.  Thank you!

@TomNow2 this is the first time I've heard of anybody adding another drive to the eisy. 

The best way to get an answer might be through the UDI Support ticket process. They would at least know if/how to enable it and initialize it. But I'm not certain if IoX or PG3 would have any use for it. You would probably be able to run it for some other reason outside of UDI implementation.

Hi @TomNow2,

You can definitely do that by plugging it. It'll show up as /dev/nvd0. You can then create a file system and use it as extra storage.

With kind regards,
Michel

Thank you!  Any chance the directions could be added into the user guide?  Think it might help others who saw it as a selling point.  Would also be good if the Polyglot web interface or IoX UI could do it so it's not command line driven, thanks again!
