2.7 Uninstalling UNIX Agents and UNIX Agent Manager

You can uninstall the AppManager for UNIX agent components and UNIX Agent Manager.

2.7.1 Uninstalling the UNIX Agent

You can use UNIX Agent Manager to uninstall agents from remote computers, or you can uninstall them locally. When you uninstall the agent, all agent components, including the ones for other products, are uninstalled.

NOTE:You do not need to uninstall agents with a lower version number before upgrading agents. Use this procedure only if you want to completely remove agents from remote computers. For more information about upgrading agents, see Section 3.5, Saving UNIX Agent Information to a File.

To uninstall the agent locally, change to the installation directory, then run the following command:

./uninstall.sh

You can also uninstall using the console. This option allows you to uninstall from many computers at once. To uninstall an agent in UNIX Agent Manager, select the computers where you want to uninstall the agent, click Manage Hosts > Uninstall Agent.

To uninstall the UNIX Agent Manager on Windows computers, use the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel to remove the UNIX Agent Manager program, then delete the UNIX Agent Manager folder.

To uninstall the UNIX Agent Manager on a Linux computer, change directories to the UNIX Agent Manager installation directory, and then enter rm -rf VSAU.
