Quick Start


Performing a Silent Uninstall

You should stop any running Tivoli Storage Manager services before performing an uninstallation. To see which Tivoli Storage Manager services are running, you can type net start in a Windows command prompt. Look for any services that have Tivoli Storage Manager in them. If you have installed any Tivoli Storage Manager services using your own names, look for those as well. Each Tivoli Storage Manager service you plan to remove should be stopped. To stop a Tivoli Storage Manager service, type net stop "service name". For example, to stop the first server instance you can type net stop "tsm server1".

You can silently uninstall the Tivoli Storage Manager server, licenses, and device driver by using the /x parameter instead of the /i parameter for each command. All other parameters remain the same.

The following is an example of silently uninstalling the Tivoli Storage Manager server using the MSIEXEC command.

Command
msiexec /x "c:\tsm_images\TSM51_Complete\server\Tivoli Storage Manager Server 5.0.msi"
RebootYesNo="No" REBOOT="Suppress" ALLUSERS=1 INSTALLDIR="c:\program files\tivoli\tsm"
ADDLOCAL="Online_Main,Online_Server_Readmes,Online_Server,Server_Base"
TRANSFORMS=1033.mst /qn /l*v c:\install_log.txt
