The sequence of commands and results is shown here. Notice at the end how nPartition #3 is
gone:

C:\>parremove -h 192.168.24.68 -g password -p3 -F
Note: The -g option may require up to 2 minutes to complete. Please wait...
Note: The specified partition has been marked for removal.
The partition must be shutdown for reconfiguration to complete the removal,
and to unlock the Stable Complex Configuration Data to allow modification of
other partitions.
On HP-UX use "shutdown -RH".
On Windows, shut down the OS on the partition using the Start menu or "shutdown -s" at a
Command Prompt.
If the partition is at the system firmware prompt, use the RR command on the MP.
NOTE: Although not shown, here is the point where the deleted nPartition is put into a
“Shutdown for Reconfig” state. Do this by issuing the RR command from the MP interface, or
by logging into Windows on the deleted nPartition and issuing a shutdown /r command (Start
> Run > enter shutdown /r > click OK).
C:\>parstatus -h 192.168.24.68 -g password -P
Note: The -g option may require up to 2 minutes to complete. Please wait...

parunlock
The parunlock command unlocks the Stable Complex Configuration Data or Partition
Configuration Data. It can also unlock Dynamic Complex Configuration Data and cell data and
can cancel pending changes to the Stable Complex Configuration Data.
Use this command with caution.
Root permission is required to run this command.
Synopsis
parunlock [-p PartitionNumber] [-s] [-d] [-p][-c cell]
parunlock -A [-P]
parunlock [-c cell] [-P]
• The -h... -g... options must be specified to cause the command to send its management
request using IPMI over LAN to a MP in another server complex (but can also be used as a
“loopback access” to the MP in the local complex).
• The -h... -u... set of options must be specified to cause the command to send its
management request using WBEM to an nPartition other than the local nPartition (but can
also be used as a “loopback access” to the local nPartition).
The -g and -u options are mutually exclusive.
