• Do you want to change which cells will be used by the partition the

next time it is booted?

All of these things can be set from the Modify Partition window

before you proceed. For help in changing any of these items, see “Setting

and Checking a Partition’s Core Cell Choices” on page 185.

Step 7. When you have completed any changes you want to make in the settings

for the cells in this partition, click on the OK button to complete the

partition modiﬁcation.

NOTE If the cell(s) that you are attempting to remove are active cells in the

local partition, you will be forced to immediately reboot the local partition

using the special reboot-for-reconﬁguration option. Do not click on the

OK button unless you are sure it is okay to reboot the local partition now!

If you are attempting to remove a cell that is an active cell in the local

partition, a warning will be displayed to alert you.

Step 8. Immediately reboot the partition using the reboot-for-reconﬁguration

option: issue the shutdown -R or reboot -R command.
