Removing Veritas Access 7.4.2.400 RPMs

The uninstall program stops the Veritas Access processes that are currently running during the uninstallation process.

To uninstall Veritas Access 7.4.2.400 RPMs

  1. Sign in as the support user from the node where you want to uninstall Veritas Access.
  2. Start the uninstall program.
    # cd /opt/VRTS/install
    # ./uninstallaccess

    The program specifies the directory where the logs are created. The program displays a copyright notice and a description of the cluster.

  3. Enter the IP addresses of the nodes from which you want to uninstall Veritas Access.

    The program performs node verification checks and asks to stop all running Veritas Access processes.

  4. Enter y to stop all the Veritas Access processes.

    The program stops the Veritas Access processes and uninstalls the software.

    The uninstall program does the following tasks:

    • Verifies the communication between nodes.

    • Checks the installations on each node to determine the RPMs to be uninstalled.

    • Unloads kernel modules and removes the RPMs.

    Review the output as the uninstaller stops processes.

    You can make a note of the location of the summary, response, and log files that the uninstaller creates after removing all the RPMs.
