2.4.1 Cautionary notes on setup cancellation and uninstallation (UNIX)
Note the following when uninstalling and canceling setup of PFM - RM for Oracle for Oracle.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Note on OS user permission required to uninstall PFM - RM
Before you uninstall PFM - RM, make sure that you have logged in as a superuser
(2) Note on network configuration
When you uninstall a Performance Management program, the port numbers defined in the services file will remain in the file.
(3) Notes on programs
-
If you uninstall a Performance Management program while another Performance Management program or service or other program that references Performance Management files is running, some files or directories may remain in the system. In this case, manually delete everything under the installation directory.
-
If both PFM - Base and PFM - RM for Oracle are installed on a host, you cannot uninstall PFM - Base without first uninstalling PFM - RM for Oracle. In this case, uninstall PFM - RM for Oracle and then PFM - Base, in that order. The same applies when both PFM - Manager and PFM - RM for Oracle are installed on a host. You will be unable to uninstall PFM - Manager without first uninstalling PFM - RM for Oracle. In this case, uninstall PFM - RM for Oracle and then PFM - Manager, in that order.
(4) Notes on services
-
Before uninstalling PFM - Manager, stop all active Performance Management programs and services throughout the entire system.
-
Uninstalling PFM - RM for Oracle does not delete the information about the service from the list that appears when you execute the jpctool service list command. To delete this information, use the jpctool service delete command.
-
For details about deleting the information about the service, see the section about deleting the service in the chapter on installation and setup in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.
-
Note that when you want to update the PFM - Web Console host to reflect the deletion of service information, you need to execute the jpctool service sync command to synchronize the agent information of the PFM - Manager host and that of the PFM - Web Console host.
-
If you uninstall PFM - Manager and then re-install it on the same machine, the Trap Generator service may appear twice when you execute the jpctool service list command. In this case, start the PFM - Manager service and use the jpctool service delete command to delete the Trap Generator service listed as Inactive.
(5) Other notes
Before you start uninstallation, use the jpcconf inst setup command or PFM - Web Console to check the agent log output directory. If this directory has been changed from the default directory (/opt/jp1pc/agt1/agent/instance-name/log), the agent log files remain after uninstallation. Manually delete these files after uninstallation.
