remote nPartition, 2) shutting down all applications and warning users,
and 3) issuing the shutdown -R -H command.
You also can put the partition into a ready for reconfig state by using the
BCH interface’s RECONFIGRESET command or the service processor
Command menu’s RR command.
Step 3. 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 partition you plan to remove.
Save this information, as you can use it to manually recreate the
partition if necessary at a later time.
Step 4. Remove the nPartition.
Use one of the following procedures (Removing an Inactive Remote
Partition or Removing the Local nPartition) to remove the partition.
• Removing an Inactive Remote Partition
1. Issue the parremove -p# command to remove the inactive remote
nPartition, where the -p # option specifies the partition number. For
example:
# parremove -p1
2. Issue the parstatus -P command to confirm that the partition was
removed.
If the nPartition was removed, it no longer is listed in the
parstatus command’s output.
• Removing the Local nPartition
To remove the local nPartition (the partition on which you currently
are issuing commands) perform the following steps.
1. Shut down all applications and warn users. Follow the same
procedures you would use if you were to reboot the partition.
2. Issue the parremove -F -p# command, which initiates the complex
profile revisions that will take place when the nPartition is removed.
