BIG-IQ - Can you create partitions in a BIG-IP device?

I am considering deploying BIG-IQ to manage a fleet of LTMs. I have the need to be able to use BIG-IQ to create partitions on some LTMs in addition to deploying LTM object changes.

 

I have been reading through the BIG-IQ ADC version 5.1 document. I can see that it is possible to associate network and LTM elements with a partition. However, I cannot see any reference to creating partitions.

 

Is this possible?

    Hi Scott,

     

    In v6.0 of BIG-IQ I could not find any possibility to create a partition on a managed device.

     

    When I try to create an object, for example a new node in a new partition, I get a device error on deployment "folder does not exist".

     

    It seems that the partition needs to be exists on the managed device before working with objects on it.
