The following table identifies how you can uninstall the Update Manager client software from your system.

How to Uninstall the Update Manager Client Software

Before you uninstall the Update Manager client software, ensure that neither the Update Manager application nor the smpatch command are running.

1. Become superuser.

2. (Optional) If you installed the Sun Update Connection Proxy software, remove the prebackout lock file for the proxy software, and use patchrm to remove the update.

   • For SPARC based systems, type:

     # rm /var/sadm/patch/119788-07/prebackout # patchrm 119788-07

   • For x86 based systems, type:

     # rm /var/sadm/patch/119789-07/prebackout # patchrm 119789-07

3. Remove the prebackout lock file for the Sun Update Connection System software.

   • For SPARC based systems, type:

     # rm /var/sadm/patch/121118-07/prebackout

   • For x86 based systems, type:

     # rm /var/sadm/patch/121119-07/prebackout

4. (Optional) If you use the patchrm -R command to uninstall the Update Manager feature update on a diskless client, you must first log in to the diskless client to stop and disable the Update Manager client agents.

   # /usr/lib/cc-cfw/framework/lib/cc-client-adm stop # /usr/lib/cc-cfw/framework/lib/cc-client-adm disable

How to Stop and Disable the Update Manager Client Agent Software

These agents are installed when you install the Update Manager software. When you register your system with the Update Manager Registration Wizard, the agents are enabled.

In most cases, the pkgrm command safely disables the agents before removing the SUNWccinv package. However, if you installed this package on a diskless client or a cluster of systems, you must manually disable the agents before you remove the SUNWccinv package.

1. Become superuser.

2. Stop and disable the inventory agent.

   # /usr/lib/cc-cfw/framework/lib/cc-client-adm stop # /usr/lib/cc-cfw/framework/lib/cc-client-adm disable
