Note:
On Linux, anywhere that an asterisk (*) is used in a command as a wildcard argument, you
need to prevent shell expansion by either adding quotes around the asterisk (' or ") or preceding it
with a backslash (\).
Example 1:
Split a RAID10 array using the default option. Afterwards there will be
two arrays, and one will be hidden from the operating
system.
bcadm -S --array 1 --default
Example 2:
Split a RAID10n array into two arrays. The disks in the disk list will not
be split off from the original array.
bcadm -S --array 2 --disk 1 2 4 5 6 7 --no-hide
Note:
In example 2 above, equal numbers of disks must be selected from each mirror or submirror
for the split to occur.
