parremove Command

The parremove command removes an existing nPartition. This removes all cells from the nPartition and destroys the nPartition definition. Root permission or IPMI LAN access is required to run this command.

To remove the local nPartition, you must specify the -F option.
For the Original nPartition Commands, the local nPartition is the one from which you issue the parremove command.
For the Enhanced nPartition Commands, the local nPartition either is the one where the command is issued, or if the -u... -h... options are specified it is the nPartition whose host is specified by -h.
To remove a remote nPartition using the Original nPartition Commands, the remote nPartition must be inactive: it must be shutdown for reconfig or the parremove command will not be able to remove the nPartition.
When using the Enhanced nPartition Commands, parremove can remove an active, remote nPartition when both the -Foption and the -g... -h... set of options are specified.




	NOTE: On servers based on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000 chipset, when the nPartition Configuration Privilege is restricted the parremove command cannot remove an nPartition unless the command is issued with the -g... -h... options.

Refer to the parremove(1M) manpage for complete details.

Synopsis

parremove -p PartitionNumber [-F]

Enhanced nPartition Commands Notes.

The -u... -h... set of options may be specified to cause the command to send its management request using WBEM to an nPartition other than the local nPartition (but can also be used as a "loopback access" to the local nPartition).
The -g... -h... options may be specified to cause the command to send its management request using IPMI over LAN to a service processor in another server complex (but can also be used as a "loopback access" to the service processor in the local complex).

The -u and -g options are mutually exclusive.

Options

-p PartitionNumber

Specifies the nPartition number to be removed.

-F

Forcibly remove the nPartition. If the nPartition is inactive, the nPartition is removed. If the nPartition is active and if it is the local nPartition, the nPartition is removed.

If the nPartition is active but is not the local nPartition, then the nPartition will not be removed.

-u username

Enhanced nPartition Commands only. Specifies the account and authorization to access an nPartition other than the local nPartition.

The -h option is required if this option is used.

username specifies a configured user name on the target nPartition.

-g

Enhanced nPartition Commands only. 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 LAN port.The -h option is required if this option is used.

-h IPaddress|hostname

Enhanced nPartition Commands only. This option is only used in combination with either the -u or -g option. IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address or hostname of the target nPartition (-u) or service processor (-g).
