HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.3 Administrator Guide

you can either power down (vparreset command with -d option) the vPar or shutdown the vPar
(vparreset command with -g option).
CAUTION: When the vparremove command is used accidently, serious consequences can
occur.
Hence, the -f (force) option is required with the command.
To remove a vPar named Oslo, run the following command:
# vparremove -p Oslo -f
10.7 Deactivating a vPar configuration
You can deactivate a vPar to remove or deallocate resources from it, while maintaining its
configuration settings. This is a way of managing shadow configurations, and allows the shadow
configuration on a per vPar basis. The -x active_config=false option must be used with
either the vparcreate or the vparmodify command.
You can deactivate a vPar configuration only if the vPar is in the inactive state, that is, the run-state
must be DOWN.
To deactivate a single vPar configuration, the vparmodify command must be used with the -x
active_config=false option. After this is done, the vPar instance no longer consumes or
reserves the resources allocated to it, and those resources may be distributed to other partitions or
the VSP, or those resources may be used to a create different vPar instance.
To reactivate the vPar configuration use vparmodify command with the -x
active_config=true.
NOTE: A vPar configuration cannot be reactivated unless the resources it requires are available
and not reserved by other vPar instances. A vPar can still be managed while its configuration is
deactivated. However, it cannot be booted.

# vparmodify -p Gold -x active_config=false
