Uninstalling Sun Management Center From the Microsoft Windows Platform
If you want to preserve and use your existing Sun Management Center configuration data, you must perform an upgrade install of Sun Management Center 4.0 as described in Chapter 5, Upgrading Previous Versions of Sun Management Center on the Solaris Platform.
You can use the graphical es-guiuninst wizard to either uninstall the entire Sun Management Center 4.0 installation, or only specific add-on products. es-guiuninst also provides the option to back up the Sun Management Center configuration data from the previous version. If you chose to back up the configuration data, the Sun Management Center 4.0 installation process detects the backup and checks whether you want to apply the data to the new installation.
You can uninstall specific Sun Management Center 4.0 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.
When you uninstall Sun Management Center from the global zone on Solaris 10, the agent data in the sparse root zone will not be preserved.
