5.5.1 Creating a Partition
Partitions create logical divisions of the eDirectory tree. For example, if you choose an
Organizational Unit and create it as a new partition, you split the Organizational Unit and all of its
subordinate objects from its parent partition. The Organizational Unit you choose becomes the root
of a new partition. The replicas of the new partition exist on the same servers as the replicas of the
parent, and objects in the new partition belong to the new partition’s root object.

In the Create Partition page, specify the container to use as the root of the new partition, or use
the Object Selector to locate it, then click
