Uninstalling the SDX Software
The SDX GUI Uninstaller is a wrapper around the Solaris packages that simplifies the removal of SDX software components.
To uninstall the SDX software using the SDX GUI uninstaller:
- On the SDX UNIX host, log in as
root.- Access the uninstaller directory.
cd /opt/UMC/uninstall- Start the uninstallation program.
sh uninstall_SDX- Select one or more of the displayed packages in the Uninstall SDX dialog box, and click Uninstall.
- Click OK in the Please Confirm dialog to proceed with the package removal.
When the uninstallation process has completed, the Uninstall SDX dialog box displays only components that you did not select for removal. You can verify removal of the selected packages by starting the uninstall program again. Packages that were successfully removed will not be displayed. If you previously selected all packages for removal, the uninstaller displays an alert indicating that there are no SDX components available for removal.
The uninstall program checks whether any processes currently running belong to the component being uninstalled. If such a process is found, you can do one of the following:
- Exit the uninstallation process.
- Have the uninstall program force the process to halt. The program generates a warning if this is not a safe option.
- Manually stop the process and then continue the uninstallation with the uninstall program.
Use the uninstall program only if you installed the SDX software or components with the SDX GUI installer. If you installed the application or components via the Solaris package tools, you must also use those tools to perform an uninstallation. You can also use these tools directly to uninstall SDX components that you installed via the GUI. For example, to remove the NIC package, issue the following command, and respond as prompted by the process:
pkgrm UMCnicWhen you use the SDX GUI Uninstaller, all of the uninstallation session output is captured and appended to a special log file that is created if it does not already exist. The uninstallation sessions are captured to the file /opt/UMC/var/InstallerData/solpkg_Uninstall.log.
