Uninstalling FSE software

7 Uninstalling FSE software

If you want to remove the FSE software from a system that is part of your FSE implementation, you need to uninstall all FSE components.

NOTE: In a distributed FSE system the sequence of uninstalling from different hosts that are part of the FSE system matters. If external FSE clients are part of your FSE system, you need to uninstall the FSE software from the external clients before uninstalling the consolidated FSE system or FSE server.

During FSE uninstallation, you can uninstall only the FSE Management Console components or you can completely remove the FSE software from a particular system. In the latter case, if the FSE Management Console components are installed on a system that also hosts basic FSE software, you must uninstall them before uninstalling basic FSE software.

NOTE: You must be logged on to the system as root in order to execute shell commands.

Uninstalling the FSE Management Console

To uninstall the FSE Management Console server or client, proceed as follows:

1.Stop the FSE Management Console server or client process. For details, see FSE user guide, chapter ”Configuring, starting, and stopping the FSE Management Console”.

2.Remove the FSE Management Console server or client package.

•To remove the FSE Management Console server package, run the command:

#rpm -e fse-gui-server

•To remove the FSE Management Console client package, run the command:

#rpm -e fse-gui-client

Uninstalling basic FSE software

Prerequisite

If there is the FSE Management Console server or client installed on the local system, you must uninstall it as described in ”Uninstalling the FSE Management Console” on page 63.

To remove the FSE software, proceed as follows:

1.If the HSM Health Monitor daemon is running on the local system, invoke the following command to stop it:

#hhm stop

2.If the Log Analyzer daemons are running, depending on the event log file that you are monitoring, invoke the following commands to stop the Log Analyzer daemons:

#loganalyzer stop

#loganalyzer_messages stop

3.Stop the FSE processes using the fse --stopcommand. The command and its output is show below:

#fse --stop
