Creating a Partition specification

You can create a parspec using the following command in the OA CLI:
parcreate -C PartitionSpec:[:create_partition_flag]
Where PartitionSpec is the name of the parspec to be created. The
create_partition_flag can take the following values:
◦ y – the corresponding nPartition is created.
◦ n – the corresponding nPartition does not get created. This is the default.
NOTE:
The -C option creates only a partition specification.
◦
All user supplied arguments to parcreate that are used to define an nPartition may be
◦
used to create a parspec.

Creating an nPartition from a Partition specification

You can create an nPartition and assign resources using the parspec with the help of the following
commands:
Use the following command to create an nPartition using PartitionSpec
parcreate -Z PartitionSpec
NOTE:
The following command modifies the alternate parspec named PartitionSpec to add a
new blade in enclosure 1 slot 3 to the nPartition definition.
parmodify -Z PartitionSpec -a blade:1/3

Removing a Partition specification

Use the following command to remove a parspec:
parremove -Z PartitionSpec
