Prev	Chapter 3. Installing Oracle VM Manager	Next

Before uninstalling Oracle VM Manager, you may want to back up Oracle VM Manager and the Oracle VM Manager database schema. For information on how to back up Oracle VM Manager, see Section 3.9, “Backing Up Oracle VM Manager”.

You perform the uninstall using the Oracle VM Manager installation script. You must start the installer from the installation media; you cannot perform an uninstall without the installation media as there is no installer located on the Oracle VM Manager host computer. See Section 3.4.2, “Running the Oracle VM Manager Installer” for information on starting the installer. Follow the prompts to uninstall Oracle VM Manager. See Appendix A, Oracle VM Manager Installation Script (runInstaller) at the end of this chapter for the full syntax to the installation script.

An example follows which shows an uninstall of a default Oracle VM Manager installation using a local Oracle XE database.
