modified partition is booted past its inactive ready for reconfig state
and becomes an active nPartition.
For example, the following command removes cell 2 from partition 0.
Because cell 2 is inactive, it is immediately unassigned.
Step 3. As needed, perform a reboot for reconfig (shutdown -R) of the partition
being modified.
You must perform a reboot for reconfig if you have removed an active cell
or have specified the -B option when modifying an active nPartition.
See the Reboot for Reconfig Guidelines on page 218 for details on when to
perform a reboot for reconfig.
This reboot for reconfig enables the cell removal to complete and the
Complex Profile to be unlocked.
If you have removed an active cell and you did not specify the -B option
to parmodify, then the nPartition will remain inactive in a
ready for reconfig state after you perform the reboot for reconfig. To
make the inactive partition active, use the service processor Command
menu’s BO (boot) command.
Partition Manager This procedure (Partition —> Modify Partition action, Add/Remove Cells tab)
removes cells from an nPartition using Partition Manager.
Step 1. Determine which cell(s) you want to remove from the partition.
The cells must all be assigned to the same nPartition in order to remove
them using a single procedure. Otherwise, if the cells are assigned to
different partitions, you must perform this procedure separately for each
nPartition.
Step 2. Run Partition Manager (/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr) or access it from
SAM or a Web browser.
Step 3. In the Partition Manager primary window, select the nPartition from
which you want to remove cells, then select the Partition —> Modify
Partition
action.
# parmodify -p0 -d2
Command succeeded.
