Uninstalling Power Center In Linux

NOTE: Make sure to remove all devices from the Power Center management console before uninstalling Power

Center. Otherwise, the existing power cap value set in the policies (including EPR) will remain effective on the

devices. Make sure to check your data center power capacity before removing the devices to avoid tripping the

breaker, because the policies will be removed at the same time.

To uninstall Power Center on a Linux server, type the following at the command line interface:

rpm –e OpenManage_PowerCenter

If you did not check the Use another database server option during installation, the uninstall program removes the

Power Center database and configurations.

If you checked the Use another database server option and used another database during the installation, the uninstall

program does not uninstall the database.
