3.1.3 Uninstallation [Linux]

The procedure for manager uninstallation is as follows:

Before uninstalling this product, check that the preparations given in "3.1.1 Preparations" have been performed.

  1. Log in to the system as the OS administrator (root).

    Log in to the managed server from which Resource Coordinator VE will be uninstalled, using root.

  2. Execute the rcxuninstall command.

    # /opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxuninstall <RETURN>

    Starting the uninstaller displays the following message which explains that before uninstallation the Resource Coordinator VE services will be automatically stopped.

    Any Resource Coordinator VE service that is still running will be stopped and removed.
    Do you want to continue ? [y,n,?,q]

    To stop the services and uninstall Resource Coordinator VE enter "y", to discontinue the uninstallation enter "n".

    If "n" or "q" is entered the uninstallation is discontinued.

    If "?" is entered, an explanation of the entry method will be displayed.

  3. Enter "y" and the uninstallation will start.

    When uninstallation is completed successfully, the following message will be displayed.

    INFO : ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Manager was uninstalled successfully.

    If uninstallation fails, the following message will be displayed.

    ERROR : Uninstalling "package_name" was failed.

  4. If uninstallation fails, use the rpm command to remove the packages given in the message, and start the process from 1. again.

    # rpm -e package_name <RETURN>

Note

  • When the PATH variable has been configured to enable execution of UpdateAdvisor (Middleware) commands from a user-defined location, performing uninstallation will delete any patches that have been applied to Resource Coordinator VE so there is no need to return it to the state prior to application.
    When the PATH variable has not been configured, return it to the state prior to application 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 directory:

    /etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/opt/FJSVssmgr/current/certificate

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

    /var/tmp/back/site/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 directories below may remain. In that case, delete any remaining directories manually.
