Assigning (Adding) Cells To An Npartition - HP Rp7410 - Server - 0 MB RAM Administrator's Manual

After you complete the nPartition removal, the nPartition no longer exists. 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.
Procedure 6-5 Deleting an nPartition (Partition Manager)
You can delete an nPartition by using Partition Manager.
When using Partition Manager Version 1.0, select an nPartition, then select the Partition Delete
Partition action.
When using Partition Manager Version 2.0, select an nPartition, then select the nPartition Delete
nPartition action.
1. Access Partition Manager.
For details on accessing Partition Manager or other tools, see
nPartitions" (page
2. In Partition Manager, select the nPartition you want to remove.
If using Partition Manager Version 1.0, you must select either the local nPartition or a inactive
remote nPartition (where all hardware assigned to the nPartition must be listed as having
an Actual Usage of "inactive").
If using Partition Manager Version 2.0, you also can remove an active remote nPartition
either when managing the complex where nPartition resides, or when managing the remote
nPartition. Both remote management features involve using the Tools Switch Complexes
action.
3. Select the Partition Manager action to request that the nPartition be removed (deleted).
From Partition Manager Version 1.0, select the Partition Delete Partition action.
From Partition Manager Version 2.0, select the nPartition Delete nPartition action.
4. Proceed with the nPartition deletion by clicking the OK button when Partition Manager
requests confirmation for deleting the nPartition.
5. If removing an active nPartition, perform a shutdown for reconfig of the nPartition. (You
do not need to perform a shutdown for reconfig if removing an inactive nPartition.)
Login to the nPartition being removed, and issue the HP-UX shutdown -R -H command
or Windows shutdown /s command to perform the shutdown for reconfig. Following the
shutdown, the nPartition no longer exists—its configuration information is deleted.
6. Exit Partition Manager.
From Partition Manager Version 1.0, select the File Exit action.
From Partition Manager Version 2.0, select Log off parmgr or exit the Web browser when
finished.
