How to Remove the Backup Software

Use the pkgrm command to remove individual Backup packages or all of the Backup packages at the same time.

The individual Backup software packages depend on each other. You must remove them in the following order: server, storage node, client. The man pages, device drivers and documents have no dependencies. You can remove them at any time.

Removal of the Backup software requires three basic steps:

1. Become root on the system you want to remove the software from.

2. Enter the nsr_shutdown command at the shell prompt to shut down the Backup daemons.

   A list of Backup daemons that will be shut down is displayed, along with a prompt that asks whether you want to continue with the nsr_shutdown command.

   # nsr_shutdown nsr_shutdown will kill the following processes 238 ? S 0:01 /usr/sbin/nsrexecd -s mars 243 ? S 262:47 /usr/sbin/nsrd 293 ? S 0:02 /usr/sbin/nsrmmdbd 294 ? S 0:09 /usr/sbin/nsrindexd 296 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/nsrmmd -n 1 Do you want to continue? [Yes]? y

3. After the nsr_shutdown command completes, issue the pkgrm command.

   You can include a list of the individual packages you want to remove.
