HOW CAN WE REMOVE A VPAR?

Note: These apply to VPARs versions 4.x/5.x . For the latest in case of any differences refer to the latest documents on the VPARs

The removal of a VPAR requires the VPAR to be in a shut state. So we have to shut down the VPAR before removing the same using the vparremove command.

vpar2#shutdown –hy 00

vpar1#vparremove –p vpar2

However this only removes the VPAR from the VPDB and the VPAR cannot boot.

The same VPAR if created with the same configuration can be made up and running as vparremove does not disturb any data on the VPAR’s disks.
