Hi,
from manual ManagingSuperdome page 181:

Removing Cells from a Partition
Removing a cell involves
1. using a partition configuration tool to designate that the cell be
removed from a partition
2. rebooting the partition for reconfiguration (performing a
reboot-for-reconfig).
Once a cell is removed from a partition, the cell is unassigned and
available for general use, along with any I/O resources connected to the
cell.
Note that, when you remove a cell from a partition, the cell???s I/O chassis
also is removed from the partition. As a result, any I/O devices associated
with the cell are made unavailable to the partition.
Also note that at least one cell in each partition must be connected to an
I/O chassis that has a core I/O card installed and an HP-UX boot device
attached.

Step 1. List the current partition assignments for all cells.
Use the parstatus -C command to list all cells in the complex, and
check the partition assignment for cell that you want to remove.
Determine the partition number of the partition to which the cell is
assigned.
Step 2. List the current status for the partition.
Use the parstatus -p# command to list the partition???s status (active or
inactive); specify the partition number for the cell???s partition.
The partition to which the cell is assigned must be inactive, or the cell
must be assigned to the local cell.
Step 3. Remove the cell from the partition to which it is assigned.
If the cell is the last cell in the partition, you must instead use the
parremove command to remove the partition. (See ???parremove
Command??? on page 213 for details.)
To remove the cell from its partition, issue the parmodify command.
??? If removing from the local partition, specify the -B option.
Specify parmodify -p# -d# -B and specify the partition number
(-p#) and the cell ID for the cell to be deleted (-d#).
??? If removing from an inactive remote partition, you need not specify -B
unless you want to reboot the partition immediately.
Specify parmodify -p# -d# and specify the partition number (-p#)
and the cell ID for the cell to be deleted (-d#).
Specify -B when removing the remote partition???s cell only if you want
to reboot-for-reconfig the partition immediately after the cell is
removed.
Step 4. As necessary, perform a reboot-for-reconfiguration on the partition being
modified.
On the local partition, you must issue the shutdown -R command or the
reboot -R command to reboot the partition and perform the partition
reconfiguration (deleting the cell).
On the remote partition, if you did not specify -B, then use the GSP
command menu???s BO command to boot the partition.


Good Luck.

Enrico.
