parremove
The parremove command removes an existing nPartition. This removes all cells from the
nPartition and destroys the nPartition definition. Root permission or IPMI LAN access
is required to run this command.
• To remove the local nPartition, you must specify the -F option. The local nPartition is
either the one where the command is issued, or if the -u... -h... options are
specified it is the nPartition whose host is specified by -h.
• parremove can remove an active, remote nPartition when both the -F option and the
-h... -g... set of options are specified.
Synopsis parremove -p PartitionNumber [-F] [-k s_lock:p_lock]
•The -h... -g... options must be specified to cause the command to send its
management request using IPMI over LAN to a management processor in another
server complex (but can also be used as a “loopback access” to the management
processor in the local complex).
•The -h... -u... set of options must be specified to cause the command to send its
management request using WBEM to an nPartition other than the local nPartition
(but can also be used as a “loopback access” to the local nPartition).
The -g and -u options are mutually exclusive.
Options -p PartitionNumber
Specifies the nPartition number to be removed.
-F Forcibly remove the nPartition. If the nPartition is inactive, the
nPartition is removed. If the nPartition is active and if it is the local
nPartition, the nPartition is removed.
If the nPartition is active but is not the local nPartition, then the
nPartition will not be removed.
-u username:[passwd]
Specifies the account and authorization to access an nPartition other
than the local nPartition.
The -h option is required if this option is used.
• username specifies a configured user name on the target nPartition.
• passwd specifies the password associated with the username. If this
field is empty, the command prompts for the password.
-g [passwd] Allows access to the complex specified by the -h option. The accessed
complex is then considered the target complex. Access is through the
management processor LAN port.
The -h option is required if this option is used.
passwd specifies the IPMI password of the management processor. If
this field is omitted, the command prompts for the password.
