The partitions are purely a naming scheme nothing more. So instead of /Common/node you will have /test5/node. In terms of limitations you are likely to hit a global configuration limitation rather than anything partition specific.

 

There is no hardware specification related to partitions. It is supported on all platforms on all versions since it was introduced into the BIG-IP software.

 

Note Well

 

Creating a pool member inside a partition for a new server will automatically create the node in the same partition. While this is fine for servers only to be used by that environment, it is not for shared servers such as AD servers and the like. Create shared server nodes in /Common before building the pools that use them in a partition.

    Do you know if there is a global configuration limit of any kind?
