Step 3. Select the Partition —> Delete Partition action to request that the selected
nPartition be removed (deleted).
Partition Manager presents the following window to confirm whether
you want to delete the selected nPartition.
You can view details about the nPartition by clicking the Show Details
button, or cancel the deletion by clicking Cancel.
Step 4. Proceed with the nPartition deletion by clicking the OK button in the
Partition Manager confirmation window.
Step 5. Perform any remaining tasks (such as a shutdown -R -H) as needed.
You may need to perform a shutdown for reconfig, depending on the type
of nPartition you are removing (local or remote) and its state (active or
inactive). Review the following list for details:
• If you are removing a remote nPartition that was inactive, the
nPartition was removed immediately so this removal procedure is
finished and you do not need to perform any shutdowns.
• If you attempt to remove a remote nPartition that is active, Partition
Manager cannot remove the remote partition. You first must make
the remote nPartition inactive by putting it into a ready for reconfig
state.
To put the remote partition in a ready for reconfig state: log in to the
remote partition and issue the shutdown -R -H command, or issue
the BCH RECONFIGRESET command or the service processor RR
command for the remote nPartition.
After the remote partition is inactive, you must perform this removal
procedure again using Partition Manager on the local partition if you
want to remove the remote nPartition.
• If you are removing the local nPartition, Partition Manager will
display the following information to you after you click OK to remove
the partition.
To complete the local partition’s removal, you must perform a
shutdown for reconfig (shutdown -R -H) of the local nPartition as
soon as possible.
