NAME
       parremove - remove an existing partition

SYNOPSIS
       PartitionNumber p_lock]
	      username

DESCRIPTION
       The  command  removes  an  existing  partition.	This will unassign all
       cells from the partition and destroy the partition definition.	Parti‐
       tionNumber,  the	 target	 partition,  must  be inactive except when the
       option is used.	Even then, one of the following additional  conditions
       must be satisfied:

	      ·	 The  target partition must be the local partition, the parti‐
		 tion executing the command.  If the  options  are  specified,
		 the  partition they access is considered to be the local par‐
		 tition.

	      ·	 The option must be used to access the complex	in  which  the
		 target partition is configured.

       By  default,  the  target  partition is assumed to be configured in the
       same complex as the local partition.  The and options allow the command
       to  remove  a  partition on the specified target (local or remote) com‐
       plex.

       Superuser permission is required to run this command on the local  par‐
       tition.	If the option is used to access a remote partition or complex,
       superuser permission is not required on the local system, and the local
       system  need  not  exist on an nPartition.  If the option is specified,
       username on the remote host must have superuser permission or the  com‐
       mand will fail.

       By  the nature of its operation, the command modifies the configuration
       of its target complex.  Operation is affected by the state of the  tar‐
       get  complex's  nPartition  Configuration Privilege.  If the nPartition
       Configuration Privilege is unrestricted (the default), or  the  complex
       is  accessed  using  the option, all operations are allowed.  Otherwise
       the command fails.  The option is unaffected by the state of the	 nPar‐
       tition  Configuration  Privilege.   Note:   The state of the nPartition
       Configuration Privilege can only be changed at the service  processor's
       Command menu.  This should be kept in mind when reading the section.

       Refer  to  the for a description of the partition management terms used
       in this man page.

   Options and Arguments
       recognizes the following command line options and arguments:

       Specifies the partition to be removed.
			   PartitionNumber specifies the unique partition num‐
			   ber (integer) assigned to the partition when it was
			   created.  If neither the nor option	is  specified,
			   the target partition is in the local complex.  Oth‐
			   erwise it is in the complex determined by either of
			   those options.

			   In  either case, the target partition must be inac‐
			   tive unless the option has been specified  and  one
			   of the following conditions is also satisfied:
			   ·  The  target  partition  must be the local parti‐
			      tion, the partition executing the	 command.   If
			      the  options  are	 specified, the partition they
			      access is considered to be the local partition.
			   ·  The option must be used to access the complex in
			      which the target partition is configured.

       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  option  to
			   remove  an  active partition in the target complex.
			   It is ignored otherwise.

			   If you are removing an active partition, the parti‐
			   tion	 is  marked for removal.  This action is irre‐
			   versible.  However, the partition is	 not  actually
			   removed  until  it  is shutdown using the option of
			   the command (see shutdown(1M)).

       Allows access to the complex specified by the
			   option.  The accessed complex  is  then  considered
			   the	target complex.	 Access is through the service
			   processor's LAN port.

			   The option is required if this option is used.

			   If this option is specified,	 the  command  prompts
			   for the password.

			   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 through IPMI over
			   LAN can be enabled or disabled by logging on to the
			   service processor and using the  command  from  the
			   Command Menu.

			   The and options are mutually exclusive.

       This option should only be used in combination with either the
			   option.    IPaddress|hostname   specifies   the  IP
			   address or hostname of the target partition or com‐
			   plex

       Note:		   The option is intended for use by system management
			   tools which invoke  the  command  programmatically.
			   Command line users should avoid this option.

			   The option specifies the lock keys provided by Par‐
			   tition Manager ( )for  Complex  Configuration  Data
			   and Partition Configuration Data.

			   Lock	 keys should always be specified in pairs.  If
			   either lock key is not available, enter as a place‐
			   holder.   For  example, if the s_lock key is avail‐
			   able but the p_lock key is  not,  then  the	option
			   should be specified as

       Specifies the required authorization to access a partition other than
			   the	local  system (but can also be used as a loop‐
			   back access to the local partition).	  The  complex
			   to be modified is the one in which this target par‐
			   tition resides.

			   The option is required if this option is used.

			   If this option is specified,	 the  command  prompts
			   for the password.

			   username  specifies	a  configured user name on the
			   target partition.

			   Note: This command is a Web-Based  Enterprise  Man‐
			   agement  (WBEM)  Client  Application.   The	option
			   accesses the target partition using a Secure	 Sock‐
			   ets	 Layer	 (SSL)	 connection.   If  errors  are
			   reported, check that the  conditions	 described  in
			   the section are satisfied.

RETURN VALUE
       The command exits with one of the following values:

       Successful completion.
       Error condition occurred.

EXAMPLES
       Remove the inactive partition whose PartitionNumber is 2:

       Remove  an  inactive  partition	in the same complex as the remote host
       Penzance:

       RemoteAdmin must have superuser permissions on Penzance.	  The  command
       prompts for the password.

DEPENDENCIES
       This  command  uses  the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) product
       and some of its configuration settings.	If  you	 encounter  connection
       errors  when  using the option, check that the following two conditions
       are satisfied:

       ·  Use the command (see cimconfig(1M) in the  WBEM  product  documenta‐
	  tion)	 to  verify (and correct if necessary) the setting of the fol‐
	  lowing two variables:

	  ·

	  ·

       ·  The target partition's digital certificate has been appended to  the
	  local	 partition's  Shared Authentication Store.  For the nPartition
	  commands, the Shared Authentication Store is	stored	in  the	 file:
	  This	file  is used by all the clients, which use SSL based certifi‐
	  cates.  If these clients trust a target partition, then the  nParti‐
	  tion commands will also trust the target partition.

       Refer  to the WBEM documents specified in the section below for further
       information.
