Does irules are seperated by Partition or it is common for all partitions

I tried creating an irule in a particular partition. While listing the irules it is shown in all the partitions. How can I check to which partition the irule belongs??

    Open the iRule in question, and you will see the following headers:

    Properties

Name        MyiRule
Partition   Common

    If you need to check for same information on a larger scale, and don't want to click as much, perhaps the easiest method to find out all iRules that belong to Common is to use grep on the config backup file:

    `cat /config/bigip.conf | grep 'ltm rule'

    Beginning in v11, /config/bigip.conf holds items of Common partition only. Items of other partitions are in /config/partitions/partition-name/bigip.conf file. Check here for more details: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/800/sol13895.html

Thank you,, I have a problem in creating an irule in a particular partition in version 10. Considering the partition name is Test. Write the irule to a temporary file- temp_rule using echo command : echo -e $'rule ' >/var/tmp/temp_rule To go into the partition Test i used the following command: tmsh modify cli admin-partitions update-partition Test I merged the file: tmsh run util bash -c "b merge /var/tmp/temp_rule" But the irule is created in Common partition. when i used : edit ltm rule ,, it is created in Test partition How can i create an irule in a particular partition using echo and merging files???
