Shutting Down All Virtual Partitions; Managing: Removing A Virtual Partition - HP Integrity Superdome 2 16-socket Administrator's Manual

NOTE:
process.
To poweroff a virtual partition from the OA prompt, do one of the following:
For graceful shutdown type:
◦
poweroff partition 1:1
◦ For ungraceful shutdown (required whenever the partition is at the UEFI prompt) type:
poweroff partition 1:1 force
To reset a virtual partition invoked from the OA:
vparreset -f -N 1 -p 1
or
reboot partition force 1:1
To simulate a hard-reset, use the -h option:
vparreset -f -p 1:1 -h
or
poweroff partition 1:1 force
To simulate a TOC reset, use the -t option:
vparreset -f -p 1:1 -t
or
INIT partition 1:1

Shutting Down All Virtual Partitions

You can shut down all the virtual partitions within a hard partition when there is a hardware
problem, or when the nPartition modification requires the nPartition to be down. To gracefully
shutdown all the virtual partitions in an nPartition, run the following command:
poweroff partition <npar_id> OVERRIDE
To ungracefully shutdown all the virtual partitions in an nPartition, run the following command:
poweroff partition <npar_id> OVERRIDE FORCE

Managing: Removing a Virtual Partition

To remove a virtual partition, use the vparremove command to purge the virtual partition from
the parspec. Any resources dedicated to the virtual partition will be freed and can be allocated
to a different virtual partition.
You must shut down the virtual partition before removing it. If the target virtual partition is running,
vparremove will fail.
Example
To remove a virtual partition named vPar0001:
1. Login to the OA.
2. The partition must be in the Down state.
vparstatus -N nPar0001 -p vPar0001
If the virtual partition is running, it can be shutdown from the OA using poweroff command,
or from OS by running the following commands:
This is a graceful shutdown and allows the OS to transition through the shutdown
