Unpresenting OS disk from a vpar server to a non-Vpar. Is it possible?

We have a host whose OS drives are on an XP1024 and is a vPar on a rp7420. We want to unpresent these disks and present them to a stand alone rp4440 server.
Is there anything with the kernel that we have to worry about because we are going from a Vpar environment to a non-Vpar environment?

Shalom John,

I think its possible.

I believe it might even work since vpars require their own boot disk.

Its probably not supported.

ISSUE: rp4440 is not a cell based server. rp7420 is. rp4440 is newer technology.

This may give you trouble and force you to use Ignite Golden Images.

The only way to do this in a supported way is Ignite make_tape_recovery or make_net_recovery

make sure you boot to /stand/vmunix, and not /stand/vpdb, and you willbe botting in non-Vpar mode.
Then remove /stand/vpdb, and also swremove the Vpar software
