parcreate Command
The /usr/sbin/parcreate command creates a new nPartition.
This command assigns the specified cells (and any attached I/O chassis)
to an nPartition after removing the cells from the free cell list. This
command assigns a number to the new nPartition and returns the
partition number of the newly created nPartition.
Root permission is required to use parcreate.
See the parcreate (1M) manpage for complete details. Also refer to the
section Creating a New nPartition on page 263 for procedures and
examples.
