10 Removing XP Performance Advisor
To remove XP Performance Advisor, you must first remove the host agent from each host, and then
remove XP Performance Advisor from the management station.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the following are completed before you proceed:
• No other user is accessing the folders in the <Installation drive>\HPSS (%HPSS_HOME%)
directory on the management station and <Installation drive>\Program Files\XPPA\
hostagent directory on the respective hosts.
• None of the XP Performance Advisor related files, such as the log files, script files, properties files
are being accessed by other users.
Removing the XP Performance Advisor host agent
NOTE:
• If the Storage Area Manger 3.3 host agent is also installed on the same host as the XP Performance
Advisor host agent, remove the XP Performance Advisor host agent before removing the Storage
Area Manager host agent. Removing the Storage Area Manager host agent first might lead to
the removal of some XP Performance Advisor components.
• Use the host agent installer of the existing installed version to remove the host agent.
• After the existing host agent version is removed, the corresponding host agent record is still visible
on the XP Performance Advisor's Host Information screen. Click Remove Host to manually remove
the host agent record from the management station. For more information on removing host agent
records, see the
HP StorageWorks XP Performance Advisor Software User Guide
. For document
download location, see “Related documentation” on page 126.
Removing a Windows host agent
To remove the host agents from the Windows hosts, complete the following steps:
1. At the host, select Start > Run, type appwiz.cpl, and press Enter.
2. Click Add or Remove Programs.
3. Select HP StorageWorks XP <ver> Host Agent Installer to remove the existing version of the host
agent. The installer informs you that a system reboot is required after the host agent is removed.
