Uninstalling Applications on Solaris OS, Red Hat, and IBM AIX Systems

• If you installed the application as packages on the Solaris OS, use the instructions in How to Uninstall Package-Based Applications on a Solaris OS System.

• If you installed the application as files Solaris OS or if you have a Red Hat or IBM AIX system, use the instructions in How to Uninstall File-Based Applications on Solaris OS, Red Hat, and IBM AIX Systems.

How to Uninstall Package-Based Applications on a Solaris OS System

Only the Master Server and the CLI Client are available for installation as packages. The uninstall script removes only 4.1 versions of the Master Server or CLI Client.

The uninstall script is only installed if you installed the Master Server or the CLI Client as package. If the script is not in the directory, then uninstall by using the instructions in How to Uninstall File-Based Applications on Solaris OS, Red Hat, and IBM AIX Systems.

Steps

1. On the system that you want to uninstall the application, verify that you are not in the directory of the application that you want to uninstall.

2. Begin the uninstallation.

   # /N1SPS4.1-home/app_directory/bin/cr_uninstall_app.sh

   N1SPS4.1-home is the directory where you installed the application. The default directory is /opt/SUNWn1sps/N1_Service_Provisioning_System_4.1. app_directory is one of the following values:

   • server – uninstalls a Master Server

   • cli – uninstalls a CLI Client

   app is one of the following values:

   • ms – uninstalls the Master Server

   • cli – uninstalls the CLI Client

   The following message appears when the uninstallation is complete.

   Successfully removed SUNWspapp Successfully removed SUNWspsc1 Successfully removed SUNWspsj1

   app is ms when uninstalling a Master Server and cl when uninstalling a CLI Client.

   ---

   Note –

   The SUNWspsc and SUNWspsj1 packages are not removed if another application is installed on this system. For example, if you have a Master Server and a CLI Client both installed on the same system, when you uninstall only the Master Server, the SUNWspsc and SUNWspsj1 packages remain on the system until you uninstall the CLI Client.
