Uninstalling From Solaris

Occasionally, previous installations of servers are not cleanly uninstalled, or are partially uninstalled from the Solaris 8 or 9 environment.

This section describes the sequence of steps required to remove the Sun™ ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition or leftover component parts (from previous installations) that are obstructing a successful installation on your Solaris environment.

Procedures

---

When there are previous installations of servers that were not cleanly uninstalled, or that were partially uninstalled, use the following steps to uninstall and completely remove from your Solaris system all traces of the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition software and the bundled products.

Note

If necessary, set the DISPLAY environment variable as follows: To set the DISPLAY environment variable in the C Shell (csh) and T Shell (tcsh): # setenv DISPLAY <hostname>:0 (or 0.0) To set the DISPLAY environment variable in the Bourne Shell (sh) or the Korn Shell (ksh): $ DISPLAY=<hostname>:0 (or 0.0); export DISPLAY The host name is the computer on which you want your application to display its output. To make sure that your computer accepts the display input, run the command x host + on which you want to receive and view the display. To verify that your DISPLAY is set up properly, type admintool at the command prompt. The Admintool UI appears. Return to the command prompt to continue.

1. Stop all of the servers:

<install_dir>/utils/stopservers.sh

2. Make certain that none of the servers are running.
3. Save the files:

<install_dir>/utils/removePackage.sh

In a local directory:

<install_dir>/utils/requiredPackages

4. Run the uninstaller for the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition software.

<install_dir>/uninstall.sh

The uninstaller uninstalls all of the products previously installed by the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition installer.

Note

Uninstalling a particular product from the list of components in the Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition through the component's uninstaller can cause inconsistencies. Therefore, you should uninstall the entire Sun ONE Web Services Platform Developer Edition. Make certain that all products were fully uninstalled. In this Installation Guide, see the following section: Removing Leftover Files, Packages, and Processes from Previous Solaris 8 or 9 Installations ("Troubleshooting"). If uninstallation is not successful, you need to uninstall each product separately (see documentation for each applicable product at http://docs.sun.com/db/prod/sunone
