    sure, substitute for your device names, you can also do ranges if devices are consecutive.

    You can also use the following syntax if you are running a recent S.E. :-)

    symconfigure -sid xxx -cmd "convert dev 0BAD to BCV+R-5;" -nop preview/prepare/commit

    From the Solutions Enabler Array Controls CLI Product Guide:

    raidset = When requesting to convert a RAID-S group to unprotected devices, set raidset equal to TRUE and list the first RAID-S member. It is not necessary to list the other members.
