Sun Management Center 3.6.1 Installation and Configuration Guide

Uninstalling Sun Management Center from the Solaris Platform

Uninstalling Sun Management Center 3.0

The Sun Management Center 3.0 uninstall process provides you with the opportunity to save your Sun Management Center 3.0 configuration data. If you are going to upgrade to Sun Management Center 3.6.1, make sure that you save the Sun Management Center 3.0 configuration data when prompted.

ProcedureTo Uninstall Sun Management Center 3.0

Steps

  1. Log in as root on the machine where the Sun Management Center 3.0 server is installed.

  2. Remove T3 device configuration information if T3 devices are present.

    If you have not installed and set up the add-on Monitoring and Management of A5x00 and T3 Devices, skip this step. Go to Step 3.

    If you monitor and manage T3 storage devices using the Monitoring and Management of A5x00 and T3 Devices add-on, remove T3 device configuration information before you uninstall Sun Management Center. For instructions, see Removing T3 Device Configuration If Present in Chapter 4, Preparing Systems for Sun Management Center Upgrade and Installation.

  3. Uninstall Sun Management Center 3.0.

    Type the following command:


    # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-uninst

    You are notified that the utility removes all of the Sun Management Center packages and asked whether you want to continue.

    • Type n to cancel the uninstall process.

    • Type y to continue.

      You are asked if you want to preserve your existing data.

  4. Choose whether to preserve your Sun Management Center 3.0 configuration data.

    • If you do not want to preserve the existing Sun Management Center 3.0 data, type n. You are notified that the existing data will be removed.

    • If you want to preserve the existing Sun Management Center 3.0 data and migrate the data to Sun Management Center 3.6.1, type y. You are notified that the existing data will not be removed.

    Any Sun Management Center 3.0 processes that are currently running are stopped. The uninstall process then uninstalls the Sun Management Center 3.0 software.

    Note –

    During the uninstall process, warning messages might be displayed saying that some packages depend on the packages being removed. Messages could also be displayed informing you that removal of a package was suspended and that intervention is required. You can safely ignore these messages because the uninstall process will remove the packages without your intervention.

    The uninstall process exits to the system prompt when Sun Management Center 3.0 has been uninstalled.

    Caution – Caution –

    If you want to upgrade to Sun Management Center 3.6.1, do not delete the remaining Sun Management Center 3.0 directories. The Sun Management Center 3.0 directories contain the information that will be migrated to Sun Management Center 3.6.1.

  5. Upgrade the Solaris operating environment if necessary.

    If you are installing the Sun Management Center 3.6.1 server, the machine must be running at least the Solaris version 8 or Solaris version 9 developer environment. For additional information, see Prerequisite Packages

    Caution – Caution –

    If you need to upgrade to Solaris version 8 or Solaris version 9, make sure you perform a Solaris upgrade. A fresh Solaris installation reformats the hard drive, which deletes your Sun Management Center 3.0 configuration data. If you perform a fresh Solaris installation, you will not be able to migrate your Sun Management Center 3.0 configuration data to Sun Management Center 3.6.1.

Uninstalling Sun Management Center 3.6.1

The graphical es-guiuninst wizard can be used either to uninstall all of a Sun Management Center 3.6.1 installation, or to uninstall only specific add-on products. es-guiuninst also provides the option to back up the Sun Management Center 3.6.1 configuration data from the previous 3.6.1 version. If you chose to back up the configuration data, the Sun Management Center 3.6.1 installation process detects the backup and asks whether you want to apply the data to the new installation.

You can uninstall specific Sun Management Center 3.6.1 add-on products by using either the graphical es-guiuninst wizard as described below, or by using the es-uninst command-line script as described in Uninstalling Sun Management Center.

Caution – Caution –

(On Solaris 10) When you uninstall Sun Management Center 3.6.1 from the global zone, the agent data in the sparse root zone will not be preserved.

  3. Remove T3 device configuration information if T3 devices are present.

    If you monitor and manage T3 storage devices using the Monitoring and Management of A5x00 and T3 Devices add-on, remove T3 device configuration information before you uninstall Sun Management Center.
