Could you please share any article/steps to do that?

Hi ndubey2 ,
It's recommended to re-create this partition/or any object again and delete the old one.

Michael_Saleem using enabling mv command and using it can cause a huge impact in the system , F5 release an official article regarding that , have a look here : https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K08689048 if the impact Okay with him he must do it in a maintenance window.
and disable mv variable again
Mohamed_Ahmed_Kansoh Agreed. As mentioned in my initial reply, you should only attempt the mv command in a maintenance window as it can cause an outage (and you should disable this feature after using it).
The following may help. You should only attempt this during a scheduled maintenance window. You will also need to ensure that the new partition name does not already exist.
1. Create a Backup UCS File
save sys ucs /shared/tmp/BACKUP-BEFORE-RENAMING-PARTITION.ucs
2. Enable the MV command
modify sys db mcpd.mvenabled value true
3. Move the Partition
cd /
mv sys folder <OLD PARTITION NAME> to-folder <NEW PARTITION NAME>
4. Delete the Old Partition
delete auth partition <OLD PARTITION NAME>
5. Reset the MV Command Back to Default Setting
modify sys db mcpd.mvenabled reset-to-default
6. Save the Config
save sys config
