parremove Command

NOTE For the most up-to-date reference information on the parremove

command, see the parremove (1M) manpage on your system. The

information here is provided for quick reference.

The parremove command removes an existing partition. This will

remove all cells from the partition and destroy the partition deﬁnition.

After a partition is removed, to re-create it you must do so from

HP-UX running on another partition in the same complex.

Root permission is required to run this command.

NOTE This command fails if a partition is booted/active. This means all the

cells in the partition must be shutdown for reconﬁguration before using

the parremove command.

This note does not apply if the partition being deleted is the local

partition and the -F option has been speciﬁed.
