CAUTION The uninstall process removes the application and deletes all the data in the database.
Procedure
1. On the OS Provisioning Server, log in as root.
2. Mount the OS Provisioning Server ISO by attaching or mounting the image.
3. Type cd /<path to OS Provisioning Server.iso> to change the directory to the location of
the image.
4. Run the ./UNINSTALL-ME command to uninstall the application.
5. Type yes.
The uninstall process completes and generates a log. See the example log.

Configure DHCP
When you configure a private, isolated network that is used specifically for provisioning, the OS
Provisioning Server uses the DHCP server it installed to provide addresses and network boot information
to nodes connected to the network.
Prerequisites
Determine whether you are using a private network (recommended) or shared network (supported, but
not recommended). If you are provisioning systems on a shared network, you probably have a DHCP
server on the network. Disable the OS Provisioning Server's DHCP server and configure your regular
DHCP server to provide network boot information for machines to be provisioned. See "Configure a
DHCP Server Other Than the OS Provisioning Server" on page 178.
