NAME

vparremove - remove a virtual partition

SYNOPSIS

Invoked from operating system (OS):

vparremove -f -p vpar_id [-Z

parspec]

Invoked from Onboard Administrator (OA):

vparremove -f { -p vpar_id -N npar_id |

-p npar_id:vpar_id | -p vpar_id -Z parspec }

Platform Support Remarks

This

vparremove describes functionality on systems with Onboard Administrator (OA) based par-

tition management. For vparremove on systems not running OA based partition management,

refer to vparremove1 (1M) by typing man vparremove1

DESCRIPTION

The

vparremove command deletes a virtual partition previously created using the

vparcreate com-

mand. All resources associated with the virtual partition are made available for allocation to other vir-

tual partitions upon successful completion.

Unintentional use of this command has serious consequences; therefore the user is required to conﬁrm

the operation with the

-f (force) option.

Options and Arguments

vparremove recognizes the following command line options and arguments:

-f Speciﬁes the force option. Required.

-p vpar_id Speciﬁes the virtual partition to be removed. vpar_id can be speciﬁed either as a number

or name. Required.

When invoked from the OS, the command deletes the speciﬁed virtual partition from the

local nPartition.

When invoked from the OA, the vpar_id should be speciﬁed using the format

npar_id

:vpar_id or used along with the -N option. When speciﬁed in the

npar_id :vpar_id format, npar_id and vpar_id can either be a number or name. The

command deletes the speciﬁed virtual partition from the speciﬁed nPartition.

-N npar_id Speciﬁes the nPartition to which the virtual partition belongs. npar_id can be speciﬁed

either as a number or a name. This option is mandatory for the command invoked from

OA.

-Z parspec Speciﬁes partition speciﬁcation (parspec) ﬁle of the nPartition from which the virtual par-

tition has to be removed. When this option is speciﬁed, all other command options are

applied to the speciﬁed parspec and not to any partition.

The

-N and -Z options are mutually exclusive.

SECURITY RESTRICTIONS

When invoked from the OS, this command is restricted to processes owned by superuser having appropri-

ate

parperm privilege. An OA user with operator privilege level or above can remove virtual partitions

from the OA.

RETURN VALUE

The

vparremove command exits with one of the following values:

0 Successful completion.

1 One or more error conditions occurred.

EXAMPLES

Oslo from the local nPartition:
