a VP & Pool created in a sub Common partition

We're taking over the support for the Viprions 2400 and noticed that some of the VIPs and the corresponding Pools in the vCMP Guests were created in a partition that appears to have been sub-foldered from the Common partition, like Common/Partition.app.

 

What would be a rational for doing that?

 

Thanks.

    newbie,

     

    Partitions are usually (or always perhaps) used for administrative segregation where if you have different business units/application owners or even different customers, using the bigip and they each have a partition accordingly. So customer 1 cannot see the objects built for customer 2 etc.

     

    The following tech document actually expands on this on how you can add further functionality and separation with Route Domains and Partitions. see vCMP Guest and RD

     

    Hope this helps,

    N
