Removing the FOXMAN‑UN Software
If you need to uninstall FOXMAN‑UN, remove the FOXMAN‑UN software by using the rmnem script, which has been specially written for this purpose.
The main advantage of the script is that it will remove all parts of the FOXMAN‑UN installation, i.e. not just the contents of the installation directory, but also the nemadm account, the symbolic links used for defining the agent port numbers, etc.
If you try to remove the FOXMAN‑UN software manually and subsequently run the FOXMAN‑UN installation script, you may run into some unexpected problems due to the fact that the FOXMAN‑UN system was only partially removed.
Please note:
Do not forget that the rmnem script will delete the contents of the FOXMAN‑UN installation directory (it will also delete the installation directory itself provided that it is not a logical volume).
→ The working directory from which you call the “rmnem” script must not be located in the FOXMAN‑UN software tree. This applies not only to the window in which “rmnem” is started, but to ALL windows. If you forget this, then you may notice error messages such as “not found” or “No such file or directory”. This is because the user shell is located within a directory that no longer exists.
To remove (uninstall) the FOXMAN‑UN software,
Proceed as follows:
Step 1 | Login as root. |
Step 2 | Make sure all NEM users are logged out. |
Step 3 | Enter the command: cd / |
Step 4 | Enter the command: /opt/nem/share/uninstall/rmnem Example: as nem administrator, execute: nembasestop the, as root, execute: /opt/nem/share/uninstall/rmnem Wait for the confirmation that the uninstall process is concluded. |
End of instruction
To uninstall add-ons such as DIRAC, ALS, SOX SNMP add-on, where available, execute the respective uninstall commands as root and wait for the confirmation that the uninstall process is concluded:
• DIRAC uninstall command:
/opt/dirac/bin/private/rmdirac -f
DIRAC can be uninstalled before or after uninstallation of FOXMAN‑UN.
• ALS uninstall command:
rpm -e als-server
ALS can be uninstalled before or after uninstallation of FOXMAN‑UN. After uninstallation, a message about creation of an ALS settings backup is issued which confirms uninstallation.
• SOX add-on (required for getting SNMP agents for FOX660 NE types) uninstall command:
rpm -e nem-ea-snmp-sox
The SOX add-on can be uninstalled before or after uninstallation of FOXMAN‑UN; however, deletion of SOX related NEs and agents and a nembasestop are required before uninstallation in case FOXMAN‑UN is still installed. After SOX uninstallation, a nemstart is required.
