Explanation:
This parameter indicate that the server is partitioned and/or clustered.
Refer
to the readme.txt for details on issues with installs to partitioned servers.
When a customer attempts to install a third-party application, on a server that
is also running Domino, they are prompted to select the partition on which the
application should be installed. This prompt displays even if Domino was
installed as a single-server and not a partitioned install.
To ensure that the necessary files are installed to the correct location,
third-party applications may scan the NOTES.INI file during install. It has
been found, however, that when a third-party application detects the NOTES.INI
parameter "PartitionNumber=1", it may assume that Domino is partitioned and
thus prompts the customer to choose the correct partition for the install.
This is not a Domino issue. Customers that experience this issue should
contact the maker of the third-party application.
A temporary workaround is to remove the parameter from the NOTES.INI file
before installing the third-party application; however, removing the parameter
for extended periods of time is not recommended as doing so could possibly lead
to performance issues.
The NOTES.INI parameter "PartitionNumber" was introduced in Domino 6.x and
is
referenced by several areas of Domino code including shared memory. This
parameter is also used for SNMP as well as memory allocation for some
third-party applications.
Applies to:
