Executor: Superuser

Uninstall HiRDB only if you will no longer use HiRDB on the applicable server machine. Otherwise, you should not uninstall HiRDB.

Notes about uninstalling HiRDB

Before you uninstall HiRDB, make sure that all commands, utilities, applications, HiRDB Datareplicator, and HiRDB Dataextractor have stopped. If any of these programs is running, deletion of executable files and shared libraries may fail.

When a HiRDB single server configuration is uninstalled, files and directories required for HiRDB execution that are located in the following directories on the server machine are deleted:

• /opt/HiRDB_S
• All HiRDB directories that the user has registered in the OS using the pdsetup command^#

When a HiRDB parallel server configuration is uninstalled, files and directories required for HiRDB execution that are located in the following directories on that server machine are deleted.

• /opt/HiRDB_P
• All HiRDB directories that the user has registered in the OS using the pdsetup command^#

#

When the HiRDB system is deleted from the OS using the pdsetup -d command, HiRDB directories for which you responded with n to the KFPS00036-Q message are also deleted.

The procedure for uninstalling HiRDB is described below. In the case of a HiRDB parallel server configuration, you must uninstall HiRDB from all server machines that constitute the HiRDB parallel server configuration.

To uninstall HiRDB:

1. Stop HiRDB.
   Execute the pdls -d ust command, and then, if HiRDB is running, use the pdstop command to stop HiRDB.
   If an uninstall is performed while a HiRDB is running, HiRDB processes and OS resources that were being used by HiRDB remain resident. Should that happen, reboot the OS to stop the HiRDB processes and release the OS resources.
   
2. Delete HiRDB from the OS.
   Execute the pdsetup -d command, respond with y to the KFPS00036-Q message, and then delete HiRDB from the OS.
   If the termination status of the pdsetup -d command is not 0, an error may have occurred. See the message output to the syslog file, eliminate the cause of the error, and then re-execute the removal of HiRDB registration from OS again.
   
3. Uninstall HiRDB.
   Use the Hitachi Program Product Installer to uninstall HiRDB from each server machine.
   At this time, check the results in the Hitachi Program Product Installer window. If the uninstallation was not successful, check the message output to the syslog file, eliminate the cause of the error, and then re-execute the uninstallation.
