State. This list shows the state of the partition. A partition can be Closed, Open, or Ready for partition rollover. You can change the state of the partition by selecting a new value from the list:

Description. An optional description for the partition. This description is visible only to Enterprise Vault administrators.

Enable device level sharing. This option applies to partitions for EMC Centera only. Select this check box to make Enterprise Vault take advantage of the sharing capabilities of the EMC Centera device. If you choose this option, Enterprise Vault stores the shareable parts of a saveset as separate data blobs, so that the EMC Centera device is able to share them.

Note:

EMC Centera device level sharing is independent of Enterprise Vault single instance storage sharing. Partitions for EMC Centera do not participate in Enterprise Vault single instance storage sharing.
