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

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).
