Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions nPartition-level tasks NOTE You must include the correct remote administration options when issuing par commands (-h and -g for IPMI over LAN connections; -h and -u for WBEM/WMI connections). For a complete explanation of these options, refer to the command description in "nPartition Commands Reference" on page 109. To check the local partition number, use the parstatus -w command. If you are planning to remove a remote nPartition, check to see whether the remote nPartition is inactive. • To make a remote nPartition inactive, you can perform any of the following tasks: - Login to Windows running on the remote nPartition and issue the shutdown /s command. - Access the console for the remote nPartition and use the reconfigreset command at the EFI Shell. - Use the RR command at the management processor Command Menu to reset the nPartition to a shutdown for reconfig state. • To remove an active remote nPartition, you must use the Windows nPartition tools remote administration options. Step 2. Save all current configuration details about the nPartition you plan to remove. Use the parstatus -V -p# command to display all current configuration information related to the nPartition you plan to remove. Save this information, as you can use it to manually recreate the nPartition if necessary at a later time. Step 3. Remove the nPartition. Use one of the following procedures to remove the nPartition: Removing an inactive remote nPartition, Removing a local nPartition, or Removing an active remote nPartition. • Removing an inactive remote nPartition 1. Issue the parremove -p# command to remove the inactive remote nPartition (-p# where # is the nPartition number). For example: # parremove -p1 2. Issue the parstatus -P command to confirm that the nPartition was removed. If the nPartition was removed, it no longer is listed in the parstatus command output. • Removing a local nPartition To remove the local nPartition (the nPartition on which you currently are issuing commands), perform the following steps. 1. Shut down all applications and warn users. Follow the same procedures you would use if you were to reboot the nPartition. Chapter 4 85

Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions
nPartition-level tasks
Chapter 4
85
NOTE
You must include the correct remote administration options when issuing par commands
(
-h
and
-g
for IPMI over LAN connections;
-h
and
-u
for WBEM/WMI connections). For
a complete explanation of these options, refer to the command description in “nPartition
Commands Reference” on page 109.
To check the local partition number, use the
parstatus -w
command.
If you are planning to remove a remote nPartition, check to see whether the remote
nPartition is inactive.
•
To make a remote nPartition inactive, you can perform any of the following tasks:
—
Login to Windows running on the remote nPartition and issue the
shutdown /s
command.
—
Access the console for the remote nPartition and use the
reconfigreset
command at the EFI Shell.
—
Use the
RR
command at the management processor Command Menu to reset the
nPartition to a shutdown for reconfig state.
•
To remove an active remote nPartition, you must use the Windows nPartition tools
remote administration options.
Step 2.
Save all current configuration details about the nPartition you plan to remove.
Use the
parstatus -V -p#
command to display all current configuration information
related to the nPartition you plan to remove.
Save this information, as you can use it to manually recreate the nPartition if necessary
at a later time.
Step 3.
Remove the nPartition.
Use one of the following procedures to remove the nPartition: Removing an inactive
remote nPartition, Removing a local nPartition, or Removing an active remote
nPartition.
•
Removing an inactive remote nPartition
1. Issue the
parremove -p#
command to remove the inactive remote nPartition (
-p#
where
#
is the nPartition number). For example:
# parremove -p1
2.Issue the
parstatus -P
command to confirm that the nPartition was removed.
If the nPartition was removed, it no longer is listed in the
parstatus
command
output.
•
Removing a local nPartition
To remove the local nPartition (the nPartition on which you currently are issuing
commands), perform the following steps.
1.Shut down all applications and warn users. Follow the same procedures you would
use if you were to reboot the nPartition.
