To remove a virtual partition, use vparremove. vparremove purges the partition from the vPars partition database.
Any resources dedicated to the virtual partition are now free to
allocate to a different partition.
You need to shutdown the partition before attempting removal.
If the target partition is running, vparremove will fail.
Example
To remove a partition named winona2:
If the partition is running, shutdown
the partition:
winona2# vparstatus
winona2# shutdown -h
From the running partition winona1,
verify the target partition winona2 has
entered the down state (for more information
on partition states, see “Obtaining Monitor and Hardware Resource Information”):
winona1# vparstatus | grep winona2
winona2 Down Dyn,Auto /stand/vmunix
winona2 1/ 8 2 1 2 0/ 0 1280
After the partition is in the down state,
remove the partition winona2:
winona1# vparremove -p winona2

 | TIP: When a partition is removed, data residing on the disk(s)
of the target partition is not removed. If you have removed a partition
by accident, you may be able to recover the partition by immediately
re-creating the same partition with the same assigned resources. |
