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: 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.
Custom Uninstallation of Specific Components
Some individual components of Dell OpenManage can be uninstalled without uninstalling all of
Dell OpenManage. Following are examples:
To uninstall only the Web server, use the command:
rpm –e `rpm -qa | grep srvadmin-iws`
To uninstall storage, use the command:
rpm –e `rpm -qa | grep srvadmin-storage`
Using Dell OpenManage with VMware
®
ESX Server™ Software
NOTE: Dell OpenManage installation with VMware ESX Server software requires special steps. These steps vary
depending on the Dell OpenManage version and ESX Server version; only a limited number of combinations
are supported.
See the VMware Systems Compatibility Guide located in the Resource Center at www.dell.com/vmware
to determine the versions of ESX Server software compatible with this release of Dell OpenManage.
Each ESX Server release from Dell has an associated Dell VMware ESX Server Deployment Guide, also
posted at this Web location. Instructions for installing supported versions of Dell OpenManage available
at the time of that ESX Server release are found in that ESX Server release's Deployment Guide.
Instructions for installing any supported subsequently released versions of Dell OpenManage are posted
to the same location in a separate, clearly labeled document.
