Managing Partitions
By default, a small eDirectory tree is stored as a single partition that is
replicated on the first three servers in the tree. The procedures below explain
how to perform further partitioning operations. For concepts and guidelines on
partitioning your tree, see Novell eDirectory Administration Guide >
Guidelines for Partitioning Your Tree and Managing Partitions and Replicas.
