Removing NerveCenter from a UNIX Machine

You can remove one or more of the NerveCenter applications by running a simple script that deletes the appropriate NerveCenter files, executables, and directories.

Note    If NerveCenter was integrated with a network management platform, you must have reconfigured your network management platform before you uninstall the software. See Integrating NerveCenter with a Network Management Platform.

 
  To remove NerveCenter from a UNIX machine:

  1. If you haven't done so already, shut down all NerveCenter processes.
  2. Mount the NerveCenter CD-ROM.
  3. cd to mountpoint/BIN.
  4. If you are uninstalling version 3.6, type the following and then press Enter:
           ./uninst.sh

Note    On HP-UX, type ./UNINST.SH\;1.

  1. If you are uninstalling version 3.5, type the following and then press Enter:
           ./uninst35.sh

Note    On HP-UX, type ./UNINST35.SH\;1.

The script begins to run.

  1. Press Enter as instructed by the script until you reach the prompt that lists the components you can remove.
  2. At the following prompt, type the letter for each component you want to remove (separating each letter with a space) and then press Enter.
           Enter your choice [l]
  3. If you have platform integration installed, type the letter for each platform integration component you want to remove (separating each letter with a space) and then press Enter.
           Enter your choice [l]
  4. If you are removing the server but you want to keep your database, type y at the following prompt and press Enter.
           Do you want to retain the database? [n]
  5. If you are removing the server but you want to keep your MIB, type y at the following prompt and press Enter.
           Do you want to retain MIB? [n]
  6. If you are removing the server but you want to keep your log files, type y at the following prompt and press Enter.
           Do you want to retain the log files? [n]

Note    If you did not shut down all NerveCenter processes, the script lists them, then quits. If that happens, you must kill the processes, then rerun UNINST.SH.

The script lists the files it deletes.

  1. To delete the directory, press Enter at the following prompt.
           Deleting directory : /opt/OSInc. Continue? [y]

The script completes.

  1. If you manually set up any environment variables to point to the NerveCenter installation directory, change them to point somewhere else.
  2. If you are removing NerveCenter from this machine completely, delete the ncusers and ncadmins users and groups, including the nervectr user.
  3. If you are removing NerveCenter web support completely and the Web server is on a different machine, reconfigure the server to remove references to NerveCenter. See Managing NerveCenter for details.

Your OPEN NerveCenter applications have been removed.
