Taking 3 nPars down to 1 large nPar

Alice Seeley — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 17:59:01 GMT

Does anyone have a document they use to do this procedure? I am going to be putting vPars on the system and need to get the original 3 nPars back into one partition and then I can slice it up. If someone has the steps for it, that would be a good help.

Hi,

Have a look at the Table 1-4 nPartition Commands Descriptions from the nPartition Administrator's Guide

The admin guide has all you need.

Basically you shutdown the 2 nPars you want to delete, use the nPar admin commands (or SMH) to delete the 2 nPars and add the resources to the remaining nPar. Do a reconfig reboot (shutdown -R) to make the new config valid.

Thanks for all replies. My main was concern was the process which was graciously provided in the above note.
