NAME

       vparremove - remove a virtual partition

SYNOPSIS

       vp_name db_file]

DESCRIPTION

       The command deletes a virtual partition previously created using the command.  All resources associated with the virtual partition are made
       available for allocation to other partitions.

       Unintentional use of this command has serious consequences; therefore the user is prompted to confirm  the  operation  unless  the  (force)
       option is specified.

   Options
       recognizes the following command line options and arguments:

       Specifies the unique name of the virtual partition which
		      is to be removed.  Required.

       Removes a virtual partition from the partition database
		      contained  in  db_file.	If  this option is omitted, the virtual partition is removed from the monitor's database.  In this
		      case, the partition must be in the state to be removed.  Thus it is an error to try to remove the current virtual partition,
		      the one in which the command is executing.

       Specifies the force option.
		      Omits  the  confirmation dialog before removing the virtual partition.  This option is intended for use by scripts and other
		      non-interactive applications.
