Parameters

-name partition_name
(Required) Specifies the name for the partition. The name must be unique on all systems where the partition is used and cannot be changed later.
-replicationpolicy replication_policy_name | replication_policy_id
(Optional) Specifies the replication policy for the partition. This operation can be performed whether the remote systems in the policy are connected or disconnected. The partition is created on the remote systems when connectivity allows.
-draft

Description

This mkpartition command is used to create a partition. A system can have a maximum of four partitions and can be created only on single IO Group systems.
Note: If a replication policy is specified, the policy must be a HA policy. If no policy is specified, the partition is a single-system partition.

An invocation example

The following example creates a partition with no replication policy:

mkpartition -name mypartition1

The resulting output:

partition, id [1], successfully created
