Removing SIMS/HA

  SIMS installs files on the shared file disk as well as on the local disks for the primary and secondary SIMS/HA machines as shown in FIGURE 6-19 above. To completely remove SIMS/HA software, you need to delete files from all three locations.
  To accomplish this, use the uninstall command that is available from both SUNWmail and SUNWimha directories.
  The first time uninstall is used, it is available on both /opt/SUNWmail/sbin and /opt/SUNWimha/sbin directories. However, once it is removed from the shared disk, the uninstall command for the secondary machine is available on the other local disk only in the /opt/SUNWimha/sbin directory.
  The following are the steps for completely removing SIMS/HA from the shared disk and the two local disks.
  1. Check to see if you are already on the master machine.

 
# ./haget -f mastered
 

  If this command returns a logical host name, you are already on the master machine and can skip to Step 3. But if you are not on the master machine, it returns nothing.`
  2. Switch over to the secondary HA machine.

 
# ./haswitch <local-machine> <ha-logical-hostname>
 

  where,
local-machine is the machine on which SIMS/HA will be used secondary, for example, ha-secondary.
ha-logical-hostname is the logical name assigned to the HA machine, for example,
active-ha.
  3. Uninstall on the secondary machine from either one of the two locations.

 
# /opt/SUNWmail/sbin/uninstall -d sims
 
or
 
# /opt/SUNWimha/sbin/uninstall -d sims
 

  This removes all files from both SUNWmail on the shared disk and SUNWimha on the local disk of the secondary machine. See FIGURE 6-19.
  4. Switch over to the primary HA machine.

 
# ./haswitch <local-machine> <ha-logical-hostname>
 

  where,
local-machine is the logical name for the machine on which SIMS/HA will be primary used, for example, ha-primary.
ha-logical-hostname is the logical host name assigned to the HA machine, for example
active-ha.
  5. Uninstall on the primary machine from the following location.

 
# /opt/SUNWimha/sbin/uninstall -d sims
 

This removes all files from SUNWimha on the local disk of the primary machine
