Uninstalling Oracle if installed locally (optional)

Do one of the following:

• If Oracle is installed locally and you choose not to uninstall Oracle, proceed to unlink the Oracle binaries from Veritas libraries.

  See Unlinking the Oracle binary from Veritas libraries

• If Oracle is installed locally and you choose to uninstall it, use the Oracle runInstaller utility. Run the utility on each node you are removing from the cluster.

 To uninstall Oracle on a local node using runinstaller utility

1. On one node, log in as oracle.
2. Set the DISPLAY variable.

   If you use the Bourne Shell (bash, sh or ksh):

   $ export DISPLAY=host:0.0

   If you use the C Shell (csh or tcsh):

   $ setenv DISPLAY host:0.0

3. On the first node, run the Oracle9i runInstaller utility:

   $ /cdrom/Disk1/runInstaller

4. As the utility starts up, select the option to uninstall the Oracle software from the local node you are removing.

   Refer to the Oracle Installation Guide for details on the utility.
