Step 5. Boot your newly-created nPartition past boot-is-blocked to make it active and make its
system boot environment available.
Use the BO command at the management processor Command menu to boot the
nPartition.
Once the nPartition is booted, you can access its system boot environment through its
console. Use the management processor Console menu (enter CO at the management
processor Main Menu).
Remove (delete) an nPartition
Deleting an nPartition causes all cells (and any I/O resources connected to the cells) that
were assigned to the nPartition to be unassigned. As a result, all of these cells become
available resources which can be assigned to any nPartition in the server complex.
When removing an active nPartition, you must complete the procedure by performing a
shutdown for reconfig (shutdown /s command) as soon as possible after initiating the
nPartition removal.
Unless you use the remote administration features supported by the Windows nPartition
tools, you can delete only the local nPartition and inactive remote nPartitions.
Remove an nPartition using the following procedure:
Deleting an nPartition [par commands]
From the command line, use the parremove command to delete (remove) an nPartition.

inactive) for the nPartition you plan to remove.
