you have to mount the second and third, hard drive to the server
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-disk-format/
Well that and for KVM / XEN you need to make a physical volume (PV) on the new disk(s) and then add those two physical volumes to the volume group.
One problem is you can't have multiple volume groups in solusvm. So you won't be able to choose to have some VPS on SSD and some on HDD. This is a feature that many are looking for.
