NOTE If you will be running the Partition Manager in the partition that you are

removing, you cannot shut down HP-UX or you will not be able to run

the Partition Manager. Therefore, proceed directly to the next step.

Step 2. Run the Partition Manager (parmgr).

The Partition Manager can be run from an HP-UX command line, from a

Web browser, or from the HP-UX System Administration Manager

(SAM). For details see “How to Start The Partition Manager” on

page 141.

Step 3. On the left-hand sideof the Partition Manager’s primary display window,

highlight the entry for the partition that you want to remove.

Step 4. From the Partition menu, select Delete Partition. Using the

conﬁrmation requestor that appears, verify that you are about to remove

the correct partition.

NOTE If HP-UX is still running on the partition that you are trying to remove,

the Partition Manager will prompt you to shut it down before showing

the conﬁrmation box described above.

Once you have conﬁrmed that it is okay to remove the partition, the

Partition Manager will do so and return you to the complex level screen.

The resources formerly consumed by the partition you have just removed

will be returned to the “available resources” pool.
