Removing Multiple Device Manager for Linux Manually completing the removal of mdm for Linux Removing the IBM WebSphere Application Server for Linux

You can use these procedures to remove Multiple Device Manager from your Linux system.

Prerequisites
Attention: Attention: You must remove the Performance Manager component, the Replication Manager component, or both before you remove the Multiple Device Manager. You can manually remove WebSphere Application Server after you remove Multiple Device Manager.
Steps

Perform the following steps to remove Multiple Device Manager (MDM):

  1. Log on as root to the system where MDM is installed.
  2. You must stop any of the following processes and the applications that use them that are running on your system:
    • IBM Director Server and Consoles
    • IBM WebSphere Application Server
    • IBM HTTP Admin
    • IBM HTTP Server
    Type the appropriate stop commands, as follows:
    • To stop IBM Director Server, type the following command in a separate command window:
      twgstop
    • To stop IBM WebSphere Application Server, Version 5 - server1, type the following command in a separate command window:
      <WAS_dest-path>/bin/stopServer.sh server1 -username 
        <username> -password <password>
      where:

      <WAS_dest-path> is the destination path where IBM WebSphere Application Server, Version 5 was installed.

      <username> is the name of the WebSphere Application Server authentication user.

      <password> is the password of the WebSphere Application Server authentication user.

      Note:Note: If WebSphere Application Server was installed as part of the Multiple Device Manager installation:
      • You can use the Multiple Device Manager superuser ID or a Console user having an Operator or Administrator role to stop WebSphere Application Server.
      • <WAS_dest-path> is <dest-path>/WebSphere/AppServer

        where <dest-path> is the installation location for the Multiple Device Manager.

    • To stop IBM HTTP Administration 1.3.28, type the following command in a separate command window:
      <HTTPServer_dest-path>/bin/adminctl stop
      where:

      <HTTPServer_dest-path> is the destination path where IBM HTTP Server 1.3.28 was installed.

    • To stop IBM HTTP Server 1.3.28, type the following command in a separate command window:
      <HTTPServer_dest-path>/bin/apachectl stop
      where:

      <HTTPServer_dest-path> is the destination path where IBM HTTP Server 1.3.28 was installed.

  3. Type the following command to run the uninstallation program (uninstall), from the _uninst subdirectory of the path where MDM is installed:
    <dest-path>/_uninst/uninstall
    where:

    <dest-path> is the path where MDM is installed.

    If, for some reason, the uninstallation program was not created during installation, run the following command:

    <dest-path>/_jvm/jre/bin/java -jar <dest-path>/_uninst/uninstall.jar

    where:

    <dest-path> is the path where MDM is installed.

  4. The IBM Multiple Device Manager Uninstaller Welcome window opens. Click Next to continue, or click Cancel to stop the removal of MDM.
  5. The uninstallation program runs a check to detect whether any of the IBM Director or WebSphere processes are running. If they are, a panel opens cautioning you to stop those services manually.
  6. The Preview window opens. The uninstallation program displays a summary panel of the disk location of Multiple Device Manager Server, Console, and features that will be uninstalled. Click Remove to continue, or click Cancel to stop the removal of the Multiple Device Manager Server and Console. Alternatively, click Back to return to the previous window.
  7. The Uninstallation Progress window opens. Wait for the program to remove the Multiple Device Manager Server and Console.
  8. The Finish window for the uninstallation program opens. This window indicates the result of the removal process (successful or failed). Click Finish to complete the removal process and exit the wizard.
Result

If the Finish window for the uninstallation program opens and the result of the removal process is successful, the Multiple Device Manager Server and Console are removed from your Linux system.

Post-processing requirements

Running the uninstallation program to remove the Multiple Device Manager Server will not remove the WebSphere Application Server, Version 5, if it was installed by the Multiple Device Manager Server installation program. You must use the WebSphere Application Server, Version 5, uninstallation program to remove WebSphere Application Server.

Modified files that were added to the Multiple Device Manager directory after the initial installation of MDM will not be removed by the uninstallation program. If you have not yet uninstalled WebSphere Application Server and it is installed under the Multiple Device Manager directory, you must not remove the Multiple Device Manager directory until you uninstall WebSphere Application Server.

After you uninstall WebSphere Application Server, check for any contents in the former Multiple Device Manager directory that you might want to preserve elsewhere. Then remove the Multiple Device Manager directory manually.
