Yes, I have read through that portion of the admin guide. And it leads you to believe that it can be done. However, that's not the case. Or at least, I haven't been able to get it to work.
When you run the "snapdrive snap connect" comnand with the -split option, it creates a new flexclone, attaches/mounts it onto the server, and splits it in the background. However, I don't want it to create a new flexclone. I already have a clone mounted on the server, which was created by an earlier "snapdrive snap connect" command. I just want to split the flexclone. It appears that if you want to split a flexclone later on, then you have to do it from the filer directly.
