/etc/polyserve/san_snmp.conf

6. Uninstall MxFS-Linux 3.0.1 from the server. Run the following
commands. (When you uninstall MxFS-Linux, you may see an error
message stating that a failure occurred. You can ignore this message;
the uninstall was successful.)
# rpm -e mxfs
# rpm -e mxfs-support
# rpm -e mxfs-patches

# rpm -e pmxs-sles9-support
8. Uninstall any Matrix Server patches installed on the server:

9. Uninstall Matrix Server 3.0.1 from the server. This step does not
remove your existing matrix configuration or log files. The matrix
software must be uninstalled from a location outside of the matrix
directory structure (/opt/polyserve).
Run this command on the server:
# rpm -e pmxs
The following message then appears:
Stopping PolyServe Matrix Server
This server needs to be rebooted before the product removal
can proceed.
/etc/init.d/pmxs has been moved to /etc/init.d/Pmxs to avoid
PolyServe Matrix Server from starting automatically on boot.
