Running Partitions
Partitions are typically run under the control of a management agent within a
configuration, but they can also be run directly from the command line as
unmanaged Partitions. In both cases the Partition requires that a Smart Agent
(osagent) be running in the same sub-net on the same Smart Agent port.
See the Management Console User's Guide, Using Partitions section, for
information about managing Partitions within a configuration.
Running unmanaged Partitions
To run an unmanaged Partition (not managed by SCU), use the following
command:
partition [-path <my_partition_path>]
If no -path is specified, then the current directory is used.
The full list of Partition arguments is available in the following tables. Many of
these arguments are for use by the management agents and not by a user.
partition [<-options>] [-path <partitionpath>] [-management_agent <true|
false> [-management_agent_id <id>]] [-no_user_services] [-unique_cookie
<cookie>]
<-options> are the usual Java options and VM system properties recognized by
the Partition.
