Removing the Software: Command Line

1. Locate a configuration file or files for the cluster.

   To remove the software from your cluster, you will need a configuration file that describes the cluster. Ideally you should use the configuration file you created when installing the software. If you cannot locate that file, you will have to create one.

   Note -

   You can use the CCM tools to install on up to 16 nodes at a time. For clusters with more than 16 nodes, you will have to repeat the installation process on groups of up to 16 nodes at a time until you have installed the software on the entire cluster.

2. Place the Sun HPC ClusterTools 3.0 distribution CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

3. Go to the directory on the CD-ROM containing the release packages.

   This directory must be mounted with read/execute permissions (755) on all the nodes in the cluster:

   # cd /cdrom/hpc_3_0_ct/Product/Install_Utilities/

4. Run hpc_remove; use the -c option to specify the directory containing the hpc_config file.

   # ./hpc_remove -c /config_dir_install

   The -c tag causes hpc_remove to look for a file named hpc_config in the specified directory. If you want to remove the software using a configuration file with a different name, you must specify a full path including the new file name after the -c tag.
