Uninstalling Managed System Software From the Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
Command Line
An uninstallation script is installed when Server Administrator is installed. You can execute the script by typing srvadmin-uninstall.sh and then pressing
<Enter>.
NOTE: Just before the Server Administrator RPMs are upgraded, the srvadmin-install.sh shell script automatically calls the srvadmin-openipmi.sh shell
script to ensure that a sufficient version of the OpenIPMI driver is currently installed on the system. If a sufficient version is not found, the srvadmin-
install.sh shell script calls the srvadmin-openipmi.sh shell script to attempt to install a sufficient version. If the attempt fails for any reason, an
appropriate error message will be displayed with instructions describing how to resolve the error. After resolving any error, you should then re-run the
srvadmin-install.sh shell script to upgrade the managed system components.
NOTE: When executed, the srvadmin-uninstall.sh will not attempt to uninstall the OpenIPMI driver even if the OpenIPMI driver was installed or
upgraded during previous execution of the srvadmin-install.sh script or the srvadmin-openipmi.sh script.
