Uninstalling the BMC Server Automation Console on Linux and UNIX

This topic provides instructions for uninstalling the BMC Server Automation Console and the instance of Network Shell that was installed with the console on UNIX and Linux.

Before you begin

• You must have an X Window server installed and configured.
• You must stop the RSCD agent. See Starting and stopping the RSCD agent.

To uninstall the BMC Server Automation Console on UNIX and Linux

1. Log on as root.
2. Navigate to the directory in which BMC Server Automation components are installed. By default, this directory is /opt/bmc/bladelogic.
3. Navigate to the UninstallBMCClientInstaller subdirectory.

   ./uninstall
    An X Window opens. The installation program displays a series of messages. Then the Introduction window opens.

   Warning

   Note

   The uninstallation process does not delete some log files that BMC Server Automation creates. If you plan to reinstall a later version of BMC Server Automation in the same location, be sure to completely remove all leftover files to avoid conflicts. The easiest way to do this is to delete all files in the installation directory.
