Delete Logical Partition

You can delete a partition from the managed system that is no longer required. When you delete a logical partition, all hardware resources are returned to the primary partition. You can only delete a partition that is powered off.

To delete a Logical Partition

  1. Right-click a partition in the Explore pane and select Management, Delete.

    A confirmation dialog appears.

  2. Click OK.

    A message appears confirming that the request was submitted.

  3. Click the Summary tab for the partition.

    An event should appear confirming the result of the operation. The deletion is unsuccessful if the partition is not powered off. If the deletion was successful, the partition disappears from the Explore pane after you refresh the interface.
