Syntax

PARTMGR

Using PARTMGR

To browse up the Directory tree to the parent container, choose ".. (parent)."
To view or edit the replicas of the current container object (if that container object is a partition) select ". (current)" and press <F10>.
To browse down the Directory tree, choose objects with a plus (+) in front of them. When you choose a container object, you can see the objects in that container.
To create a new partition with a container object as the root object of the partition, press <F10> on the container to be the root of the partition.
To view or modify that partition's replicas, or to merge that partition with its parent partition, press <F10> on containers that are partitions.
Objects that do not have a plus (+) sign are servers. To see a list of the replicas stored on a server, select a Server object and press <F10>.

Managing Replicas

Replicas are copies of the information in the partition. They are stored on servers in the Directory tree. There are four types of replicas: master, read/ write, read-only, and subordinate.
