2. Issue the parremove -F -p# command, which initiates the complex
profile revisions that will take place when the partition is removed.
When using parremove to remove the local partition, you must
specify both the -p# option (to specify the local partition number)
and the -F option (to force-remove the local partition).
Note that the local partition still remains active following the
parremove command.
However, the partition reconfiguration (its deletion) is pending
and you should proceed with the next step as quickly as possible.
3. Reboot the partition for reconfiguration (reboot-for-reconfig).
Use the shutdown -R command.
This shuts downthe partitionand reboots allcells sothat the pending
configuration changes occur and the partition is deleted.
Note that the reboot -r and the shutdown -r commands will not
properly perform the reconfiguration; specify the -R option.
See Chapter 5 for more details on resetting partitions.
After you complete this step, the partition has been deleted and the cells
(and associated I/O chassis) that used to be assigned to the partition now
are unassigned and are available for other use.
Partition Manager
Step 1. Determine which partition you want to remove, and prepare it for
removal.
a. If necessary, shut down any applications that are running in the
partition
b. (optional) If necessary, shut down the operating system that is
running in the partition. This is good practice, but parmgr will shut
down HP-UX for you if you have not previously done this.
# parremove -F -p0
Use "shutdown -R" to shutdown the partition.
The partition deletion will be effective only after the shutdown.
