To check if this is the problem you have with iMonitor, launch it on the server holding the master of Root, choose the Schema menu from the panel in the left and then choose "Schema Root" from the Class Definitions sub menu.
You will see here the entry information and the attributes of this object. Look for the "Partition Control" attribute. It will display something like:

will need to dial in to fix the issue.
