HP-UX Reference (11i v1 05/09) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

p
parremove(1M) parremove(1M)
Note: This command is a Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Client Application.
The -u option accesses the target partition using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection.
If errors are reported, check that the conditions described in the DEPENDENCIES section
are satisfied.
Note: If the commands are used in a script, the user password must be passed in a
secured way. For example,
1. Save the user password in a variable and pass it to the command as,
echo $passwd | parstatus -X -u username -h hostname/IP
2. Save the user password in a file and pass the file as input to the command like,
parstatus -X -u username -h hostname/IP < passwd_file
Note, for security reason, protect the file that has the user password by removing read
permissions for non-privileged users.
-h IPaddress|hostname
This option should only be used in combination with either the
-u or -g option.
IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address or hostname of the target partition (
-u)or
complex (
-g).
-g Allows access to the complex specified by the -h option. The accessed complex is then con-
sidered the target complex. Access is via the service processor’s LAN port.
The -h option is required if this option is used.
If -g is specified, the IPMI password of the service processor should be passed when
prompted.
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. Access to the
complex via IPMI over LAN can be enabled or disabled by logging on to the service proces-
sor and using the SA command from the Command Menu.
The -u and -g options are mutually exclusive.
Note: If the commands are used in a script, the IPMI password must be passed in a
secured way. For example,
1. Save the user password in a variable and pass it to the command as,
echo $passwd | parstatus -X -g -h hostname/IP
2. Save the user password in a file and pass the file as input to the command like,
parstatus -X -g -h hostname/IP < passwd_file
Note, for security reason, protect the file that has the IPMI password by removing read
permissions for non-privileged users.
-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 shutdown using the
-R[-H] option of the shutdown(1M) command.
-k s_lock:p_lock
Note: The -k option is intended for use by system management tools which invoke the
parremove command programmatically. Command line users should avoid this option.
The -k option specifies the lock keys provided by Partition Manager (parmgr) for Complex
Configuration Data and Partition Configuration Data.
Lock keys should always be specified in pairs. If either lock key is not available, enter -1
as a placeholder. For example, if the s_lock key is available but the p_lock key is not, then
the option should be specified as -k s_lock:-1.
