Run Silent-Mode to Deinstall STA

Deinstall the current version of STA using the silent-mode deinstaller.

1. Before running the installer, you must configure a response file.

   See Create a Response File.

2. On the STA server, open a terminal window. Log in as the Oracle user.
3. Change to the STA home directory. For example:

   $ cd /Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics
   

4. Change to the STA utilities directory.

   $ cd oui/bin
   

5. Start the STA silent-mode deinstaller.

   $ ./deinstall.sh –silent  –responseFile <absolute path to response file> –invPtrLoc <absolute path to Oracle central inventory pointer file> 
   

   For example:

   $ ./deinstall.sh –silent  –responseFile /Installers/SilentDeinst.rsp –invPtrLoc /Oracle/oraInventory/oraInst.loc
   

   See Installer Command Options for full definitions of available parameters.

6. The deinstaller displays status messages in the terminal window as it deinstalls the STA application and data, MySQL, and WebLogic. This process may take up to 30 minutes to complete.

   See What Occurs During the Deinstallation for details about the updates made.

   If successful, you should see:

   The uninstall of STA_Install 2.2.0.0.0 completed successfully.
   Logs successfully copied to /home/oracle/oraInventory/logs.
   

   If it fails, you may see:

   Internal Error: File Copy failed. Aborting Install
   Logs are located here: /tmp/OraInstall2016-09-25_10-07-18AM.
   

7. Verify the deinstallation was successful by listing the contents of the Oracle storage home directory. It should be empty. For example:

   $ ls -la /Oracle
   total 8
   drwxr-xr-x   2 oracle oinstall 4096 Sep 23 14:55 .
   dr-xr-xr-x. 31 root   root     4096 Sep 23 16:41 ..
