Uninstalling Managed System Software Using The Uninstall

Script

An uninstallation script is installed when you install Server Administrator. Execute the script by typing srvadmin-uninstall.sh and

then pressing <Enter>.

NOTE

: During an uninstall of Server Administrator using srvadmin-uninstall.sh, the preferences are exported to the

default folder. The preferences are exported to a default folder /opt/dell/backup/openmanage.

If there is a previous set of exported les, they are overwritten. The default folder preferences are always the last known set of

preferences.

Uninstalling Managed System Software Using The RPM

Command

The individual components of systems management software can be uninstalled without uninstalling all the systems management.

To uninstall only the Server Administrator Web Server, use the command rpm –e `rpm -qa | grep srvadmin-tomcat`.

During an uninstallation, les in which user settings are made are preserved with the .rpmsave le extension. Log les are also preserved

after the uninstallation.
