Creating a Partition

To create a partition, use the create command, followed by the name of the new partition. "Naming Partitions and Custom Attributes" discusses the rules for naming partitions.

For example:

[node0]
Partition:: create part0[node0] P(part0):: 

The create command automatically changes the context to that of the new partition.

At this point, your partition exists by name but contains no nodes. You must assign nodes to the partition before using it. You can do this by setting the partition's nodes attribute. See "Configuring Partitions" for details.
