Removing the vPars Product

To remove the vPars product, run the swremove command from the target virtual partition. For

example, to remove the vPars product from the partition winona3:

winona3# /usr/sbin/swremove -x autoreboot=true VirtualPartition

The product is removed.

the vPars product at the bundle level (T1335DC). Recommended kernel patches are included in

the vPars bundle; if the bundle is removed, the kernel patches will also be removed.
