NOTE: This is a graceful shutdown and allows the OS to transition through the shutdown process. To poweroff a virtual partition from the OA prompt, do one of the following: ◦ For graceful shutdown type: poweroff partition 1:1 ◦ For ungraceful shutdown (required whenever the partition is at the UEFI prompt) type: poweroff partition 1:1 force • To reset a virtual partition invoked from the OA: vparreset -f -N 1 -p 1 or reboot partition force 1:1 • To simulate a hard-reset, use the -h option: vparreset -f -p 1:1 -h or poweroff partition 1:1 force • To simulate a TOC reset, use the -t option: vparreset -f -p 1:1 -t or INIT partition 1:1 Shutting Down All Virtual Partitions You can shut down all the virtual partitions within a hard partition when there is a hardware problem, or when the nPartition modification requires the nPartition to be down. To gracefully shutdown all the virtual partitions in an nPartition, run the following command: poweroff partition OVERRIDE To ungracefully shutdown all the virtual partitions in an nPartition, run the following command: poweroff partition OVERRIDE FORCE Managing: Removing a Virtual Partition To remove a virtual partition, use the vparremove command to purge the virtual partition from the parspec. Any resources dedicated to the virtual partition will be freed and can be allocated to a different virtual partition. You must shut down the virtual partition before removing it. If the target virtual partition is running, vparremove will fail. Example To remove a virtual partition named vPar0001: 1. Login to the OA. 2. The partition must be in the Down state. vparstatus -N nPar0001 -p vPar0001 If the virtual partition is running, it can be shutdown from the OA using poweroff command, or from OS by running the following commands: Managing: Removing a Virtual Partition 99

NOTE:
This is a graceful shutdown and allows the OS to transition through the shutdown
process.
To poweroff a virtual partition from the OA prompt, do one of the following:
◦
For graceful shutdown type:
poweroff partition 1:1
◦
For ungraceful shutdown (required whenever the partition is at the UEFI prompt) type:
poweroff partition 1:1 force
•
To reset a virtual partition invoked from the OA:
vparreset -f -N 1 -p 1
or
reboot partition force 1:1
•
To simulate a hard-reset, use the
-h
option:
vparreset -f -p 1:1 -h
or
poweroff partition 1:1 force
•
To simulate a TOC reset, use the
-t
option:
vparreset -f -p 1:1 -t
or
INIT partition 1:1
Shutting Down All Virtual Partitions
You can shut down all the virtual partitions within a hard partition when there is a hardware
problem, or when the nPartition modification requires the nPartition to be down. To gracefully
shutdown all the virtual partitions in an nPartition, run the following command:
poweroff partition <npar_id> OVERRIDE
To ungracefully shutdown all the virtual partitions in an nPartition, run the following command:
poweroff partition <npar_id> OVERRIDE FORCE
Managing: Removing a Virtual Partition
To remove a virtual partition, use the
vparremove
command to purge the virtual partition from
the parspec. Any resources dedicated to the virtual partition will be freed and can be allocated
to a different virtual partition.
You must shut down the virtual partition before removing it. If the target virtual partition is running,
vparremove
will fail.
Example
To remove a virtual partition named vPar0001:
1.
Login to the OA.
2.
The partition must be in the Down state.
vparstatus -N nPar0001 -p vPar0001
If the virtual partition is running, it can be shutdown from the OA using
poweroff
command,
or from OS by running the following commands:
