Removing (Deleting) an nPartition
This section describes the procedure to remove an nPartition using both the OA interfaces.
Removing (Deleting) an nPartition Using the OA CLI
The
parremove
command removes an existing nPartition. This unassigns all blades and I/O
bays from the nPartition and destroys the partition. The target nPartition must be inactive unless
the
-F
option is used. By default, the current partition specification (parspec) associated with
the nPartition is not removed when the nPartition is removed. The current parspec associated
with the nPartition becomes an alternate parspec and can be reused later. If
-Z
option is specified,
the command removes the current parspec when the nPartition is removed.
The syntax for
parremove
command is:
parremove -p nPartition_id [-Z] [-F]
An example for removing an nPartition is:
parremove -p 2
Removing (Deleting) an nPartition Using the OA GUI
To remove an inactive nPartition, select the desired nPartition from the
Complex nPartitions
table and then click
Delete
.
Renaming an nPartition
This section describes the procedure to rename an nPartition using both the OA interfaces.
Renaming an nPartition Using the OA CLI
Use the
parmodify
command to rename the nPartition. Following is the syntax.
parmodify p- <nPar_id> -P <new_nPartition_name>
Where
<nPar_ID>
is the integer nPartition number which indicates which nPartition is getting
renamed, and
new_nPartition_name
is the new name for the nPartition.
This command specifies a new name for the nPartition being modified, that is, after all
modifications are successfully applied to nPartition_id, it is renamed if no partition with that
name exists.
An nPartition name should at least have one of the following non-numeric characters: a-z, A-Z,
dash (-), underscore (_), and period (.). No other non-numeric characters are allowed in an
nPartition name. An nPartition name should not start with a dash (-). An nPartition name with
the same format as the default name can only be specified if the specified name matches the
nPartition number.
Renaming an nPartition Using the OA GUI
