Total Partition size - Configured size = Available to allocate
If you want to distribute the rules evenly across the other 6 partitions plus the backup tree, then you can
add 3616 rules to each (with 2 left over). Remember that the backup tree must be as large as the largest
partition, so you must consider the backup tree in your calculations. For example, if you want to make
partition 6 have 24,001 rules, then you can allocate the rules like this:
Partition
6
Backup Tree
7
8
9
10
11
To identify the partition you want to increase in size, enter the following command in the system
Step 6
execution space:
hostname(config)# resource partition number
Where number is between 0 and 11 by default. If you changed the number of partitions, the partition
numbering starts with 0. So if you have 10 partitions, the partition numbers are 0 through 9.
Step 7 To increase the partition size, enter the following command:
hostname(config-partition)# size number_of_rules
Where number is the number of rules you want to assign to the partition, in this case a higher number
than was shown in the show resource partition command. Use the no form of this command to return
to the default.
To increase the size of other partitions, repeat Steps
Step 8
Step 9 To reload the FWSM so your changes can take effect, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# reload
If you are using failover, wait a few seconds before reloading the standby unit as well; the standby unit
does not reload automatically, and the memory partition sizes must match on both units. Traffic loss can
occur because both units are down at the same time.
