   • (Windows) uninstall.exe -i silent
   • (Linux) ./uninstall.sh -i silent

   The computer restarts after the uninstallation is complete. 

To uninstall TrueSight Infrastructure Management in high-availability cluster mode

On Microsoft Windows:

1. Restart the primary node.
2. Navigate to the installationDirectory\UninstallTSIMServer directory.
3. Run the uninstall.exe file.
4. On the Welcome page, click Next to uninstall the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.
5. On the Uninstallation Preview page, click Uninstall.

6. On the Uninstallation Summary page, click View Log to view the uninstallation logs, or click Done.

   You can ignore the severe messages displayed while uninstalling the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server from the secondary node.

9. After the uninstallation is complete, delete the standByuninstall folder in the root drive of the installation directory.

On Linux:

1. Go to the installationDirectory/UninstallTSIMServer directory.
2. Run the uninstall command. 

To delete Oracle database objects

If you are using an Oracle database and if the Oracle database objects are not deleted while uninstalling Infrastructure Management, you can delete them manually. Run the cleanup_db.sql script present in the \Utilities\oracle\db_cleanup_script directory.

To remove the schema from the Oracle database, perform the following tasks:

1. Copy the cleanup_db.sql script present in the Utilities\oracle\db_cleanup_script directory to the Oracle server.
2. Run the script after logging on with the schema user created for Infrastructure Management.

To remove the oracle users and tablespaces used for TSIM, run the drop_pnet_orcl_db_objects.sql script available in the \Utilities\oracle\custom_db_scripts_pnet directory. The following objects are removed:

• TSIM main user, report user
• TSIM profile, TSIM role (if available)
• Default tablespace, temporary tablespace created for the TSIM user
