Manually completing the removal of Replication Manager
for Linux
If the Replication Manager uninstallation
program has failed, you can use this procedure to complete the removal process.
You can use this procedure to clean up the following files and directories
for the instance that you are removing:
- The vpd.properties file
- The system registry
- The files and directories that are left behind in the installation directory
(for example, this directory might be /opt/IBM/mdm/rm)
Prerequisites
Steps
Perform the following steps to clean up your system if the
uninstallation program for Replication Manager has failed:
- Clean up the vpd.properties file:
- Locate the vpd.properties file within the root home directory (for example,
/root/vpd.properties).
- Create a backup copy of the vpd.properties file.
- Edit the vpd.properties file using a text editor.
- Delete all the lines that start with ibmmdmrm.
 | Note: Be careful not to delete other products entries. For example, the IBM TotalStorage CIM
Agent for ESS V1R2 product keys start with the following string: ibmcimagent |
- Save the modifications.
- Close the text editor.
- Clean up the rpm database by running the following command in a separate
command window:
rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep ibmmdmrm)
- Delete any remaining installation files and directories:
- If you want to preserve any of the files or the product installation directory
(for example, /opt/IBM/mdm/rm), make backup copies of those files in another
directory.
- Delete the Replication Manager installation directory (for example, /opt/IBM/mdm/rm
directory).
