However, to enable data continuity it is important that you do not delete the epops-token le. This le
contains the identity token for the platform object. Following agent reinstallation, the token enables the
agent to be synchronized with the previously discovered objects on the server.
When you reinstall the agent, the system noties you whether it found an existing token, and provides its
identier. If a token is found, the system uses that token. If a token in not found, the system creates a new
one. In the case of an error, the system prompts you to provide either a location and le name for the
existing token le, or a location and le name for a new one.
The method that you use to uninstall an agent depends on how it was installed.
n
Uninstall an Agent that was Installed from an Archive on page 70
You can use this procedure to uninstall agents that you installed on virtual machines in your
environment from an archive.
n
Uninstall an Agent that was Installed Using an RPM Package on page 71
You can use this procedure to uninstall agents that you installed on virtual machines in your
environment using an RPM package.
n
Uninstall an Agent that was Installed Using a Windows Executable on page 71
You can use this procedure to uninstall agents that you installed on virtual machines in your
environment from a Windows EXE le.
n
Reinstall an Agent on page 71
If you change the IP address, hostname or port number of the vRealize Operations Manager server,
you need to uninstall and reinstall your agents.
Uninstall an Agent that was Installed from an Archive
You can use this procedure to uninstall agents that you installed on virtual machines in your environment
from an archive.
Prerequisites
Verify that the agent is stopped.
Procedure
1 (Optional) If you have a Windows operating system, run ep-agent.bat remove to remove the agent
service.
2 Select the uninstall option that is appropriate to your situation.
n
If you do not intend to reinstall the agent after you have uninstalled it, delete the agent directory.
The default name of the directory is epops-agent-version.
n
If you are reinstalling the agent after you have uninstalled it, delete the /data directory.
3 (Optional) If you do not intend to reinstall the agent after you have uninstalled it, or you do not need to
maintain data continuity, delete the epops-token platform token le.
Depending on your operating system, the le to delete is one of the following, unless otherwise dened
in the properties le.
n
Linux: /etc/epops/epops-token
n
Windows: %PROGRAMDATA%/VMware/EP Ops Agent/epops-token
