178 Creating and Configuring nPartitions
"Removing a Local
Issue the parremove -p# command to remove the inactive remote nPartition
(-p# where # is the nPartition number). For example:
#parremove -p1
Issue the parstatus -P command to confirm that the nPartition was removed.
If the nPartition was removed, it no longer is listed in the parstatus command
output.
Shut down all applications and warn users. Follow the same procedures you would
use if you were to reboot the nPartition.
Issue the parremove -F -p# command to force-remove (-F) the local nPartition
(-p# where # is the number of the local nPartition).
Note that the local nPartition remains active following the parremove -F -p#
command, until you perform a shutdown for reconfig to complete the removal.
As soon as possible 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.
Perform a shutdown for reconfig of the local nPartition (HP-UX: shutdown -R
-H; Windows: shutdown /s; Linux: shutdown -h time; OpenVMS:
@SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN with no automatic system reboot then MP Command
menu RR command).
The shutdown for reconfig command shuts down the nPartition and all cells so
that the configuration changes occur and the nPartition is deleted.
Shut down all applications and warn users. Follow the same procedures you would
use if you were to reboot the nPartition.
Issue the parremove -F -p# command and specify either the -u... -h...
options or -g... -h... options. For details see
nPartitions" (page 165).
You must specify both the force-remove option (-F) and the nPartition number
(-p# where # is the number for the nPartition being removed).
Perform a shutdown for reconfig of the nPartition that is being removed.
Use any of the following methods, as appropriate, to perform the shutdown for
reconfig.
— From the operating system, put the nPartition into a shutdown for reconfig
state (HP-UX: shutdown -R -H; Windows: shutdown /s; Linux: shutdown
-h time; OpenVMS: @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN with no automatic system
reboot then MP Command menu RR command).
