parstatus
Granting permission for an OS to manage nPartitions
Use the parperm command to remove restrictions which prevent an operating system running
in a partition from performing partition configuration operations on other partitions. By default,
a partition can only perform partition configuration operations on itself. The commands to display
partition status do not need any authorization and are allowed from any partition.
The following command removes nPartition configuration restriction from an OS running in
nPartition 1, enabling it to perform nPartition configuration operations on nPartitions other than
nPartition 1.
parperm npar on 1
