Uninstalling the Interplay | Engine on a Clustered
System
To uninstall the Avid Interplay Engine, use the Avid Interplay Engine uninstaller, first on the
inactive node, then on the active node.
c
The uninstall mechanism of the cluster resources only functions properly if the names of
the resources or the resource groups are not changed. Never change these names.
To uninstall the Interplay Engine:
1. If you plan to reinstall the Interplay Engine and reuse the existing database, create a
complete backup of the AvidWG database and the _InternalData database in
S:\Workgroup_Databases. For information about creating a backup, see “Creating and
Restoring Database Backups” in the Interplay | Engine and Interplay | Archive Engine
Administration Guide.
2. (Dual-connected configuration only) Remove the second network address within the Avid
Workgroup Server group.
a. In the Cluster Administrator, right-click Avid Workgroup Server.
b. Right-click Avid Workgroup Address 2 and select Remove.
3. Make sure that both nodes are running before you start the uninstaller.
4. On the inactive node (the node that does not own the Avid Workgroup Server resource
group), start the uninstaller by selecting Programs > Avid > Avid Interplay Engine >
Uninstall Avid Interplay Engine.
5. When you are asked if you want to delete the cluster resources, click No.
6. When you are asked if you want to restart the system, click Yes.
7. At the end of the uninstallation process, if you are asked to restart the system, click Yes.
