PARTMGR

Manage partitions and their replicas.

Synopsis

PARTMGR

Description

Use PARTMGR at a workstation to manage partitions and their replicas. PARTMGR allows you to:

create partitions
merge partitions
add replicas
delete replicas
modify replica types
abort a partition operation
synchronize replicas
set your current context

Usage

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.
