Maintaining the Installation
Uninstalling Application Recovery Manager Software
Chapter 3 75
Prerequisites Before you uninstall the Application Recovery Manager software from a
computer, check the following:
✓ Make sure that all references to the computer are removed from the
backup specifications. Otherwise, Application Recovery Manager will
try to back up unknown systems and this part of the backup
specification will fail. Refer to online Help index: “modifying, backup
specification” for instructions on how to modify backup specifications.
✓ Make sure that no disk arrays are connected and configured on the
system that you want to uninstall. Once the system is exported, it
cannot access the disk array or the VSS functionality.
Uninstalling an Application Recovery Manager Client
NOTE The remote uninstallation procedure requires the Installation Server to
be installed.
You uninstall a client remotely by performing these steps in the
Application Recovery Manager GUI:
1. In the Context List, switch to the Clients context.
2. In the Scoping Pane, expand Clients, right-click the client you want
to uninstall, and then click Delete. You will be asked if you want to
uninstall the Application Recovery Manager software as well.
3. Click Yes to uninstall all the software components from the client,
and then click Finish.
The client will be removed from the list in the Results Area and the
Application Recovery Manager software will be deleted from its hard
disk.
Note that the Application Recovery Manager configuration data remains
on the client system. If you want to remove the configuration data, delete
the directories where Application Recovery Manager was installed.
Cluster Clients If you have cluster aware clients in your Application Recovery Manager
environment and you want to uninstall them, you must do this locally.
The procedure is the same as for uninstalling Cell Manager or
Installation Server. Refer to “Uninstalling the Cell Manager and
Installation Server” on page 76.
