Note

  • Any updates that have been applied to Resource Coordinator VE will be deleted during uninstallation. There is no need to remove updates before performing uninstallation.

  • If a manager is uninstalled and then reinstalled without agents being deleted, it will not be able to communicate with agents used before uninstallation.
    In this case, the certificates to indicate that it is the same manager are necessary.
    After installation, manager certificates are stored in the following folder:

    • Installation_folder\Manager\etc\opt\FJSVssmgr\current\certificate

    • Installation_folder\Manager\etc\opt\FJSVrcxdm\certificate

    When uninstalling the manager, the certificates are backed up in the following folder. When reinstalling a manager and using the same certificates, copy the backed up certificates to the appropriate folders.

    • Installation_folder\back\site\certificate

    • Installation_folder\back\domain\certificate

    If the certificates backed up on uninstallation are not necessary, delete them manually.

    When operating managers in cluster environments, back up the certificates as indicated in the preparations for uninstallation.
    When reinstalling a manager in a cluster environment and using the same certificates, copy the backed up certificates from the primary node to the above folders.

  • After uninstallation the installation folder (Default: C:\Program Files\Resource Coordinator VE) will remain. If the remaining folder is not necessary, delete it manually.

  • When uninstallation is stopped due to errors (system errors or processing errors such as system failure) or cancellation by users, resolve the causes of any problems, and then attempt uninstallation again.
    If uninstallation fails even when repeated, the executable program used for uninstallation may have become damaged somehow.

    >"CD-ROM_drive\manager\win\setup.exe" /z"UNINSTALL" <RETURN>

    Open "Add or Remove Programs" from the Windows Control Panel, and if "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Manager" is not displayed on the [Add or Remove Programs] window, delete any remaining resources manually.
