VERITAS File System 3.5 (HP OnlineJFS/JFS 3.5) Installation

Deinstalling VERITAS File System Software

NOTE Because VxFS makes changes to the HP-UX kernel when it is installed, VxFS may not

deinstall completely using the following procedure. If you experience any problems with the

VxFS deinstallation, contact VERITAS Technical Support (see “Getting Help” on page 2) for

assistance.

Step 1. Check /etc/vx/tunefstab and remove any VxFS 3.5 tunable settings.

NOTE Three tunables, hsm_write_prealloc, read_ahead, and write_throttle were

added in VxFS 3.5. The JFS/OnLineJFS 3.3 vxtunefs command does not recognize

the VxFS 3.5 tunables and will fail if it tries to access them.

Step 2. To deinstall all the VERITAS file system packages, enter:

# swremove -x autoreboot=true BaseVxFS

CAUTION Do not remove the VRTSvlic package if there are any other VERITAS products

running on your system.

The sample output below is from the deinstallation process. The

system from which you are removing the software.
