31.Os
32.
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm zpool-split
35.Nd split devices off ZFS storage pool, creating new pool
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Nm zpool
38.Cm split
39.Op Fl gLlnP
40.Oo Fl o Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value Oc Ns …
41.Op Fl R Ar root
42.Ar pool newpool
43.Oo Ar device Oc Ns …
44.
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46Splits devices off
47.Ar pool
48creating
49.Ar newpool .
50All vdevs in
51.Ar pool
52must be mirrors and the pool must not be in the process of resilvering.
53At the time of the split,
54.Ar newpool
55will be a replica of
56.Ar pool .
57By default, the
58last device in each mirror is split from
59.Ar pool
60to create
61.Ar newpool .
62.Pp
63The optional device specification causes the specified device(s) to be
64included in the new
65.Ar pool
66and, should any devices remain unspecified,
67the last device in each mirror is used as would be by default.
68.Bl -tag -width Ds
69.It Fl g
70Display vdev GUIDs instead of the normal device names.
71These GUIDs can be used in place of device names for the zpool
72detach/offline/remove/replace commands.
73.It Fl L
74Display real paths for vdevs resolving all symbolic links.
75This can be used to look up the current block device name regardless of the
76.Pa /dev/disk/
77path used to open it.
78.It Fl l
79Indicates that this command will request encryption keys for all encrypted
80datasets it attempts to mount as it is bringing the new pool online.
81Note that if any datasets have
82.Sy keylocation Ns = Ns Sy prompt ,
83this command will block waiting for the keys to be entered.
84Without this flag, encrypted datasets will be left unavailable until the keys are loaded.
85.It Fl n
86Do a dry-run
87.Pq Qq No-op
88split: do not actually perform it.
89Print out the expected configuration of
90.Ar newpool .
91.It Fl P
92Display full paths for vdevs instead of only the last component of
93the path.
94This can be used in conjunction with the
95.Fl L
96flag.
97.It Fl o Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value
98Sets the specified property for
99.Ar newpool .
100See the
101.Xr zpoolprops 7
102manual page for more information on the available pool properties.
103.It Fl R Ar root
104Set
105.Sy altroot
106for
107.Ar newpool
108to
109.Ar root
110and automatically import it.
