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.
