Naming Partitions and Custom Attributes

You can assign names to partitions and to custom attributes. Custom attributes are attributes that are not part of the default CRE database; they are discussed in "Setting Custom Attributes".

Names must start with a letter and are case sensitive. The following characters can be used:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789-_.

The only limit to name length is the limit imposed by Solaris on host names--it is ordinarily set at 256 characters.

Do not begin an attribute name with the characters mp_. This starting sequence is reserved by the CRE.
