Command Line Interface Reference Guide
Removes a partition from a container. Marks the area reserved for a partition as
available. The available area is then consolidated with any adjacent free areas.
Caution: Data contained on a partition is lost after you enter the
DESTROY_PARTITION command.
You cannot destroy a partition that is assigned a unit number. You must first enter
the DELETE unit-number command to delete the unit that is using the
partition. After all partitions are destroyed, the container from which they were
created must be initialized.
