Try this:
1. install new drive
2. partition & mkfs on new drive
3. mount new partition as /vicepb
4. bos restart -server my.server.name -all
5. vos partinfo -server my.server.name   # should show vicepb now
6. vos create -server  my.server.name -part b -name my.volume --maxquota
1000 -verbose
step 6 is optional. vos create or vos move should honor the new drive now.

Note: only servers and partitions with active volumes on them show in
"vos listvldb"
