Managing nPartitions
Removing (Deleting) an nPartition
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 282
2. Issue the parremove -F -p # command, which initiates the
complex profile revisions that will take place when the nPartition
is removed.
When using parremove to remove the local nPartition, you must
specify both the -p # option (to specify the local partition number)
and the -F option (to force-remove the local nPartition).
Note that the local nPartition remains active following the
parremove -F -p # command, until you perform a
shutdown for reconfig (shutdown -R -H) to complete the
removal.
As soon as possible you should proceed with the
shutdown for reconfig because the server Complex Profile will
remain locked—and no other changes can occur—until the
pending nPartition removal is completed.
3. Perform a shutdown for reconfig (shutdown -R -H) of the local
nPartition.
The shutdown -R -H command shuts down the nPartition and
all cells so that the configuration changes occur and the
nPartition is deleted.
After you complete the nPartition removal, the nPartition no longer
exists—its configuration information has been deleted.
All cells (and associated I/O chassis) that used to be assigned to the
deleted nPartition now are unassigned and can be assigned for other
uses.
Deleting an nPartition [Partition Manager]
This procedure (Partition —> Delete Partition action) removes an nPartition
using Partition Manager.
Step 1. Run Partition Manager (/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr) or access it from
SAM or a Web browser.
Step 2. In the Partition Manager primary window, select the nPartition you
want to remove.
