CAUTION:
- Uninstalling the Ops Center Protector Master does not deactivate active rules on Client nodes. To do this, you must deactivate all data flow(s) before uninstalling, or uninstall the Clients individually.
- Before uninstalling the Protector application the node (and any nodes proxied from it) must be removed from all dataflows, be unauthorized and deleted from the UI.
Operating System Specific Behaviour:
OS | Note |
---|---|
Linux and AIX | Completely removing Protector from a Linux or AIX machine is straight forward. Enter the following commands and follow the on-screen instructions: /opt/hitachi/protector/uninstall rm -rf /opt/hitachi/protector |
Windows | Completely removing Protector from a Windows machine involves significantly more work, due partly to the additional functionality available on Windows nodes. Follow the steps listed below. |
Occasionally an uninstallation may fail to complete successfully. In this
situation there are a number of things that can be done before retrying:
- Ensure any files or folders that can block the uninstallation are closed.
- Reboot the machine to return it to a known, stable state.
- Reinstall Protector over the existing partially uninstalled version. In most cases this will allow an uninstallation to be successfully re-performed.
