parcreate Command
The /usr/sbin/parcreate command creates a new nPartition.
This command assigns the specified cells (and any attached I/O chassis)
to an nPartition after removing the cells from the free cell list. This
command assigns a number to the new partition and returns the
partition number of the newly created partition.
Root permission is required to use parcreate.
See the parcreate (1M) manpage for complete details.
