Partition Manager

Step 1. Determine which cell(s) you want to remove from the partition.

Step 2. Run the Partition Manager (parmgr).

The Partition Manager can be run from:

• an HP-UX command line

• a Web browser

• the System Administration Manager utility (SAM)

For details see “How to Start The Partition Manager” on page 141.

Step 3. From the left-hand-side of the Partition Manager’s primary display

window, highlight the entry for the partition that you want to remove

cells from. This will open up the Partition View showing the cells and I/O

chassis currently associated with the partition.

Step 4. From the Partition View screen, select Modify Partition from the

Partition menu. This will bring up a new window showing two lists:

On the left On the left, a list of cells currently in the partition

On the right On the right, a list of available cells (cells that can

be added to the partition)

Step 5. In the list of cells currently in the partition highlight the cells that you

want to remove from the partition (multiple cells can be selected by

holding down the CTRL button while selecting the second and subsequent

cells), then click the --Remove--> button between the two lists. When the

list on the left-hand side contains only the cells you want to remain in

the partition proceed to the next step.

Step 6. Before clicking on the

button, make any desired changes to the

settings for the remaining cells in the partition:

• Do you want to change which cell in the partition will be the core

cell?

• Do you want to make any changes (for any of the remaining cells in

the partition) as to which ones should be alternate core cells?

• Do you want to change the failure usage for any of the cells

remaining in the partition?
