provided.
4. Click the link for the desired host.

Uninstalling a host agent locally
NOTE: If the Command View XP Path Connectivity and Performance Advisor XP host agents are installed
on the same host, this procedure will have the following behavior:
For Unix hosts, the local uninstall script prompts you to choose which host agent to uninstall.
For Windows hosts, the local uninstall procedure removes both host agents on the host.
NOTE: If the Storage Area Manger 3.2 host agent is also installed on the host, uninstall the Command
View XP Path Connectivity host agent prior to uninstalling the Storage Area Manager host agent.
Uninstalling the Storage Area Manager host agent first may result in uninstallation of some Command
View XP Path Connectivity components.
