If you do not have the installation media for CCI, use this procedure to remove the CCI software manually on a UNIX system.

  • If you are discontinuing local or remote copy operations (for example, ShadowImage, TrueCopy), delete all volume pairs and wait until the volumes are in simplex status.

    If you will continue copy operations (for example, using Storage Navigator), do not delete any volume pairs.

  1. If CCI commands are running in the interactive mode, use the -q option to terminate the interactive mode and exit horcmshutdown.sh commands.
  2. You can remove the CCI software only when CCI is not running. If CCI is running, shut down CCI using the horcmshutdown.sh command to ensure a normal end to all functions:
    One CCI instance: # horcmshutdown.sh
    Two CCI instances: # horcmshutdown.sh 0 1
  3. When HORCM is installed in the root directory (/HORCM is not a symbolic link), remove the CCI software as follows:
    1. Execute the horcmuninstall command: # /HORCM/horcmuninstall.sh
    2. Move to the root directory: # cd /
    3. Delete the product using the rm command: # rm -rf /HORCM

    Example

    #/HORCM/horcmuninstall.sh
    #cd /
    #rm -rf /HORCM
  4. When HORCM is not installed in the root directory (/HORCM is a symbolic link), remove the CCI software as follows:
    1. Execute the horcmuninstall command: # HORCM/horcmuninstall.sh
    2. Move to the root directory: # cd /
    3. Delete the symbolic link for /HORCM: # rm /HORCM
    4. Delete the product using the rm command: # rm -rf /Directory/HORCM

    Example

    #/HORCM/horcmuninstall.sh
    #cd /
    #rm /HORCM
    #rm -rf /<non-root_directory_name>/HORCM
  5. After the CCI software has been removed, the CCI command devices (used for the in-band method) are no longer needed. If you want to configure the volumes that were used by CCI command devices for operations from the connected hosts, you must disable the command device setting on each volume.
    To disable the command device setting:
    1. Click Storage Systems, expand the Storage Systems tree, and click Logical Devices.
      On the LDEVs tab, the CCI command devices are identified by Command Device in the Attribute column.
    2. Select the command device, and then click More Actions > Edit Command Devices.
    3. For Command Device, click Disable, and then click Finish.
    4. In the Confirm window, verify the settings, and enter the task name.

      You can enter up to 32 ASCII characters and symbols, with the exception of: \ / : , ; * ? " < > |. The value "date-window name" is entered by default.

    5. Click Apply.
      If Go to tasks window for status is selected, the Tasks window appears.
