Uninstalling Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Software on Solaris OS 9 and 10

Java ES provides an uninstallation program for removing components that were installed on your system using the Java ES installer. Like the Java ES installer, the uninstaller can be run in graphical or text-based mode. The Java ES uninstaller is located at /var/sadm/prod/SUNWentsys4.

You must uninstall the Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software before you uninstall the Sun Cluster software.

If you have installed Solaris OS 8, use the instruction in Uninstalling Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Software on Solaris OS 8 to uninstall the Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software.

The Java ES uninstaller might behave differently depending on which component products you installed and how the products are interrelated. Remember the following when running the uninstaller:

• The uninstaller must be run separately on each host that contains Sun Cluster Geographic Edition components.

• The uninstaller removes only component products that were installed by the Java ES installer.

• The uninstaller does not check product dependencies for the system.

• The uninstaller does not remove configuration and user data files.
