Moving config from common partition to a new partition

Hello Experts,   We are looking forward to isolating some of the services to a new partition and the main reason is that the customer needs to assign a specific user to monitor some of the services...

Hi Mohamed_Salah_, perhaps others would disagree with me (and please do...I'm interested in alternative solutions here) but I'm not a fan of making changes on the standby. I'd rather deal with them on the active unit in a transaction. So my process for something like this would be:

  1. backup the current configuration
  2. Start a transaction
  3. Create the new partition
  4. Remove the objects from common partition that you want to move into the new partition
  5. Recreate the objects in the new partition
  6. End the transaction (you can test the transaction as well without commiting to the configuration)
  7. Save the configuration

another option, though likely more thorough and long term, is to use ACC to convert your config to AS3 schema and then you can update the resulting json appropriately for those objects.
