Manually uninstalling on Solaris platforms: WAS ND

Manually uninstalling on Solaris platforms

This task describes uninstalling the product on the Solaris operating platform.

Overview
Use the following procedure to remove all remnants of a WebSphere Application Server product. This produces a clean system that allows you to reinstall the product. Verify that you are removing only the product instance that you intend to remove and not coexisting products, or products that you might have migrated and do not intend to delete. It is important to know the installation root directory for the product instance that you are removing.

Overview

Uninstall WebSphere Application Server products in the following sequence when you are uninstalling more than one product:

WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation on Network Deployment

WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment

WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation on the base product

WebSphere Application Server (base product)

In the following steps:

The default WAS_install_root for WebSphere Application Server is the /opt/WebSphere/AppServer directory.

The default install_root for Network Deployment is the /opt/WebSphere/DeploymentManager directory.

The default directory for IBM HTTP Server is /opt/IBMHttpServer.

Use the killall -9 java command to kill all Java processes that are running.
If there are Java processes running that are not related to WebSphere Application Server products, and it is not possible to stop them, stop all WebSphere Application Server product-related processes. Use the following command to determine all processes that are running:

ps -ef | grep java
Stop all WebSphere Application Server-related processes with the kill -9 java_pid_1 java_pid_2...java_pid_n command.

Halt any running WebSphere MQ queue managers.

Type dspmq to show the state of any queue managers.

Type endmqm -i for each running queue manager.

Type $ ipcs -a to check for any IPCs.

Type $ ipcrm -[qms] [ID] to delete the IPCs.

Issue the following command to stop any MQ processes that are running.

kill -9 amq_pid_1 amq_pid_2 ... amq_pid_n

Search for related packages.Type the following commands from any directory to search for related packages:

pkginfo | grep WS to show packages for WebSphere Application Server products and the IBM HTTP Server product

pkginfo | grep wemps to show packages related to the embedded messaging feature or to IBM WebSphere MQ. You can delete these packages.

pkginfo | grep mqm to show packages related to the embedded messaging feature or to IBM WebSphere MQ.
Do not remove IBM WebSphere MQ packages if you have installed IBM WebSphere MQ as a separate product.

If no packages appear when using these commands, skip the next step.

Change directories to the directory where package information is registered.

cd /var/sadm/pkg

Issue the following command to remove any WebSphere Application Server-related packages.
Do not remove packages for WebSphere Application Server products that you are not uninstalling. You can identify packages that belong to V5.1 by the 51 on the end of WSB packages and WSN packages. WSBM and WSNM packages are for the embedded messaging feature.

pkgrm packagename1 packagename2 packagename3 ...

Do not remove embedded messaging packages if you intend to leave the embedded messaging feature installed on the machine.

Do not remove mqjava, mqm-upd04, or mqm packages if you have installed IBM WebSphere MQ as a separate product. If you have other instances of WebSphere Application Server products on the same machine, and if they use the embedded messaging feature, which is based on WebSphere MQ, do not remove the embedded messaging or mqjava, mqm-upd04, or mqm packages or directories.

If you do not have IBM WebSphere MQ installed as a separate product on this machine, and if you do not have the embedded messaging server and client feature installed on this machine, you can remove wemps packages.

Remove the mqm package last, or you cannot remove any other embedded messaging feature packages. You will have to reinstall the embedded messaging feature to remove the packages. If you have other instances of WebSphere Application Server products on the same machine, and if they use the embedded messaging feature, do not remove the embedded messaging packages or directories.

If you do intend to remove WebSphere MQ or embedded messaging packages, include the packages in the commands you are running to remove packages. For example, issue the following command as root to remove the embedded messaging feature:

pkgrm wemps mqjava mqm-upd04 mqm
Reply y[es] to all prompts.

Alternatively, you can be in any directory and use the pkginfo command to remove any package, such as those that begin with wemps:

pkginfo | grep wemps | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -i pkgrm -n {}

Issue the following commands from the /var/sadm/pkg directory to search for and remove any WebSphere Application Server product-related packages that are registered in the /var/sadm/pkg directory:

Verify that you are in the correct directory: cd /var/sadm/pkg

ls |grep WSB|xargs -i pkgrm -n {} for the base WebSphere Application Server product.
A known problem in ISMP causes ISMP to rename some packages that begin with WS to begin with ISWS instead. You can safely remove all ISWS packages as well.

ls |grep WSN|xargs -i pkgrm -n {} for the Network Deployment product

ls |grep WSC|xargs -i pkgrm -n {} for the WebSphere Application Server Java client

ls |grep wemps|xargs -i pkgrm -n {} for the WebSphere embedded messaging publish and subscribe function

ls |grep mqjava|xargs -i pkgrm -n {} for IBM WebSphere MQ

ls |grep mqm|xargs -i pkgrm -n {} for IBM WebSphere MQ

If there is a problem removing the packages, remove the related package directories in the /var/sadm/pkg directory, including the preremoval files. For example, remove the following file before issuing the pkgrm -n WSEAA51 command:

/var/sadm/pkg/WSEAA51/install/preremoval

Issue the following command to remove WebSphere Application Server directories in the /opt/WebSphere/AppServer installation root.

rm -rf /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/

Do not remove installation root directories for products that you intend to keep.

Issue the following command to remove multiple directories.

rm -rf /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/ /opt/WebSphere/DeploymentManager/
Again, do not remove directories for products that you intend to keep.

Issue the following command if you are certain that there is no embedded messaging data to preserve.

rm -fr /var/wemps /opt/wemps

If you have other instances of WebSphere Application Server products on the same machine, and if they use the embedded messaging feature, do not remove the embedded messaging packages or directories.

Issue the following command to delete the IBM HTTP Server directory.

rm -rf IBMHttpServer

If you do not have IBM WebSphere MQ installed as a separate product on this machine, and if you do not have the embedded messaging server and client feature installed on this machine, issue the following command if you are certain that there is no embedded messaging data to preserve.
If you have other instances of WebSphere Application Server products on the same machine, and if they use the embedded messaging feature, do not remove the embedded messaging packages or directories.

rm -fr /var/mqm /opt/mqm

If you installed IBM WebSphere MQ as a separate product on this host to use as the messaging provider, and if you do not want to continue using WebSphere MQ, you can uninstall the product as described in the WebSphere MQ information.

Results
When the process completes, the product is completely uninstalled. You are now ready to reinstall.
