NOTE: You can remotely perform this task using remote administration options supported by
the Enhanced nPartition Commands or Partition Manager Version 2.0. Remote administration
is supported by the Partition Manager Tools Switch Complexes action and by the nPartition
command -u... -h... options or -g... -h... options.
For details see "Tools for Configuring nPartitions" (page
1. Use the parstatus -P command to list all nPartitions, and check the status (active or
inactive) for the nPartition you plan to remove.
To check the local partition number, use the parstatus -w command. The local nPartition
always is active when it is running HP-UX.
If you are planning to remove a remote nPartition, check to see whether the remote nPartition
is inactive.
• If using Original nPartition Commands to remove a remote nPartition, the remote
nPartition must be inactive.
To make a remote nPartition inactive, put the nPartition into a shutdown for reconfig
state by performing any of the following tasks:
— Login to HP-UX running on the remote nPartition and issue the shutdown -R
-H command
— Login to Windows running on the remote nPartition and issue the shutdown /s
command.
— Login to Linux running on the remote nPartition and issue the shutdown -h time
command.
— Login to OpenVMS running on the remote nPartition, first issue
@SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN from OpenVMS and enter No at the "Should an
automatic system reboot be performed" prompt, then access the MP and, from the
MP Command Menu, issue the RR command and specify the nPartition that is to
be shutdown for reconfig.
— Access the console for the remote nPartition and use the RECONFIGRESET command
at the BCH Menu (on HP 9000 systems) or the reconfigreset command at the
EFI Shell (on HP Integrity systems).
— Use the RR command at the service processor Command Menu to reset the nPartition
to a shutdown for reconfig state.
• To remove an active remote nPartition, you must use the Enhanced nPartition Commands
remote administration options and the remote nPartition must be in a complex based
on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000 chipset.
2. Save all current configuration details about the nPartition you plan to remove.
Use the parstatus -V -p# command to display all current configuration information
related to the nPartition you plan to remove.
Save this information, as you can use it to manually recreate the nPartition if necessary at a
later time.
