Adding an additional disk

[boyese]

Hi,

I've after some advice I set up Freenas with a single 8TB HDD. I've bought a second 8TB HDD same make and model of the other disk and would like it set up to be mirrored. I've wiped the new HDD which shows its unused. When I go to pool I dont see an option to add the second disk.

The way I've see I can possibly add the disk is from the Pool menu and If I click on the Cog > Extend > Add Spare then add ada1 to the spare or should I or go to upgrade pool.

Thanks

Dave
