You cannot partition a cube when it is already containing data. You have 2 options.
1. Delete all data, partition and reload data.
2. Export all the data into another infocube, partition and load the data back (all using export data sources).
There are several postings on this form on partitioning - worht searching.
One key thing to keep in mind - if you partition on 0CALMONTH, then your queries will need to filter on 0CALMONTH in order for the DB to prune unneeded partitions, e.g. you partition by 0CALMONTH, queries that filter on 0CALMONTH2 and 0CALYEAR would not be able to take advantage of partition pruning.
