When creating an administrative partition you must specify a description or description none or the partition will not be created.

Partition names cannot begin with a number.

By default, all bigpipe commands apply to the Common partition unless the bigpipe shell command is used to specify an administrative partition that following bigpipe commands will apply to (or be executed in.)

Don't forget to save your changes using the bigpipe save all command.

Note in most cases, the show keyword displays object status or statistics, the list keyword displays configuration.

The bigpipe command can be abbreviated to just b (e.g. b help instead of bigpipe help.) Alternatively, (from v9.4,) you can use the bigpipe shell to enter commands without prefixing them with bigpipe.

Where curly or normal brackets {} or () or quotes "" or exclamation mark ! are required as part of a command and you are not using the bigpipe shell, they must be proceeded with a back slash \ to prevent the bash shell from parsing them as system commands.
