Uninstall SQL Server instances
To uninstall a SQL Server instance that has been virtualized with HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft
SQL Server, complete these steps:
1. Remove the Virtual SQL instance from each server. (This step also removes the server from the
configuration of the Virtual SQL Server associated with the instance.) Start the PolyServe
Management Console and then take one of these actions:
• On the Applications tab, right-click in the cell corresponding to the virtual SQL instance and
the server and select Delete.
• On the Servers or Virtual Hosts tab, right-click on the virtual SQL instance entry for the server
and select Delete.
Repeat this step on each server on which the Virtual SQL instance is configured.
2. Use the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel Applet to remove the SQL Server instance.
NOTE:
Do not uninstall instance-unaware components that are shared among multiple instances still running
on the server.
