Uninstalling VxFS using the uninstallation script

 To uninstall VxFS

1. Comment out or remove any VERITAS File System (VxFS) entries from the file system table /etc/vfstab. Failing to remove these entries could result in system boot problems later.
2. Unmount all mount points for VxFS file systems.

   # umount /mount_point

3. Move to the /opt/VRTS/install directory on your system and use the uninstallation script to remove Veritas File System.

   # cd /opt/VRTS/install

   # ./uninstallfs

   ---

     Note   In order to ensure complete removal, reboot the system after all packages have been removed.

4. The uninstall script prompts for the system name. Enter one or more system names, separated by a space, from which to uninstall VxFS, for example, host1:

Enter the system names separated by spaces from which to

uninstall VxFS: host1

5. After the uninstall completes, remove any VxFS file system entries from the /etc/vfstab file.
6. To verify the removal of the packages, use the pkginfo command.

   # pkginfo | grep VRTS
