NAME

parremove - remove an existing partition

SYNOPSIS

parremove -p PartitionNumber [

-F][-k

s_lock :p_lock ]

[[

-u username [:

] -h IPaddress|hostname

-g -h IPaddress|hostname ]]

Platform Support Remarks

This

parremove describes functionality on systems not running Onboard Administrator (OA)

based partition management. For parremove on systems with OA based partition management,

refer to parremove2 (1M) by typing man parremove2

DESCRIPTION

The

parremove command removes an existing partition. This will unassign all cells from the partition

and destroy the partition deﬁnition. PartitionNumber, the target partition, must be inactive except when

the

-F option is used. Even then, one of the following additional conditions must be satisﬁed:

• The target partition must be the local partition, the partition executing the

parremove com-

mand. If the

-u and -h

options are speciﬁed, the partition they access is considered to be the

local partition.

• The

-g option must be used to access the complex in which the target partition is conﬁgured.

By default, the target partition is assumed to be conﬁgured in the same complex as the local partition.

The

-u and -g options allow the parremove command to remove a partition on the speciﬁed target

(local or remote) complex.

Superuser permission is required to run this command on the local partition. If the

-u or

-g option is

used to access a remote partition or complex, superuser permission is not required on the local system,

and the local system need not exist on an nPartition. If the

-u option is speciﬁed, username on the

remote host must have superuser permission or the command will fail.

By the nature of its operation, the

parremove command modiﬁes the conﬁguration of its target complex.

Operation is affected by the state of the target complex’s nPartition Conﬁguration Privilege. If the nParti-

tion Conﬁguration Privilege is unrestricted (the default), or the complex is accessed using the

-g option,

all operations are allowed. Otherwise the command fails. The

-g option is unaffected by the state of the

nPartition Conﬁguration Privilege. Note: The state of the nPartition Conﬁguration Privilege can only be

changed at the service processor’s Command menu. This should be kept in mind when reading the

Options and Arguments section.

Refer to the nPartition Administrator’s Guide for a description of the partition management terms used

in this man page.

Options and Arguments

parremove recognizes the following command line options and arguments:

-p PartitionNumber Speciﬁes the partition to be removed. PartitionNumber speciﬁes the unique parti-

tion number (integer) assigned to the partition when it was created. If neither the

-u nor -g option is speciﬁed, the target partition is in the local complex. Otherwise

it is in the complex determined by either of those options.

In either case, the target partition must be inactive unless the

-F option has been

speciﬁed and one of the following conditions is also satisﬁed:

• The target partition must be the local partition, the partition executing the par-

remove command. If the -u and -h options are speciﬁed, the partition they

access is considered to be the local partition.

• The -g option must be used to access the complex in which the target partition

is conﬁgured.

-F Forcibly remove the partition. This option is required if you are removing your own

local partition, which is active by deﬁnition, or if you are using the -g option to

remove an active partition in the target complex. It is ignored otherwise.

If you are removing an active partition, the partition is marked for removal. This

action is irreversible. However, the partition is not actually removed until it is shut

down using the

-R[-H] option of the shutdown command (see shutdown (1M)).

parremove(1M) parremove(1M) Allows access to the complex specified by the -h option. The accessed complex is then considered the target complex. Access is through the service processor’s LAN port. -g The -h option is required if this option is used. If this option is specified, the command prompts for the password. If an error is reported when you attempt to connect using this option, check to see that IPMI LAN access has not been disabled on the remote service processor.

parremove(1M) • • parremove(1M) enableHttpsConnection=true The target partition’s digital certificate has been appended to the local partition’s Shared Authentication Store. For the nPartition commands, the Shared Authentication Store is stored in the file: /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/known_hosts.pem. This file is used by all the clients, which use SSL based certificates. If these clients trust a target partition, then the nPartition commands will also trust the target partition.
