There's no way to split an _existing_ index into multiple shards, although
some of the work on SolrCloud is considering being able to do this. You
have a couple of choices here:
1> Just reindex everything from scratch into two shards
2> delete all the docs from your index that will go into shard 2 and just
index the docs for shard 2 in your new shard
But I want to be sure you're on the right track here. You only need to shard
if your index contains "too many" documents for your hardware to produce
decent query rates. If you are getting (and I'm picking this number out
of thin air) 50 QPS on your hardware (i.e. you're not stressing memory
etc) and just want to get to 150 QPS, use replication rather than sharding.
