To remove a virtual machine from the VM Host, use the hpvmremove command.
You must confirm this action. Table 3-6 describes
the options to the hpvmremove command.
Table 3-6 Options to the hpvmremove Command
| Option | Description |

| -P vm-name | Specifies the name of the virtual machine. You must include either
the —P or —p option. |
