Running the uninstallsfrac utility

You can run the uninstall script from any node in the cluster, including a node from which you are uninstalling Storage Foundation 5.0 for Oracle RAC.

  Note   Prior to invoking the uninstallsfrac script, all service groups must be brought offline and VCS must be shut down.

For this example, Storage Foundation 5.0 for Oracle RAC is removed from the node named saturn.

 To run the uninstallsfrac utility

1. As root user, start uninstalling from any node from which you are removing Storage Foundation 5.0 for Oracle RAC. Enter:

   # cd /opt/VRTS/install

   # ./uninstallsfrac

2. The welcome screen appears, followed by a notice that the utility discovers configuration files on the system. The information lists all the systems in the cluster and prompts you to indicate whether you want to uninstall from all systems. You must answer "N." For example:

   VCS configuration files exist on this system with the following

   information:

Cluster Name: rac_cluster1

Cluster ID Number: 7

Systems: galaxy nebula saturn

Service Groups: cvm oradb1_grp

Do you want to uninstall SFRAC from these systems? [y,n,q] (y) n

  Caution   Be sure to answer N. Otherwise the utility begins the procedure to uninstall Storage Foundation 5.0 for Oracle RAC from all systems.

3. The installer prompts you to specify the name of the system from which you are uninstalling Storage Foundation 5.0 for Oracle RAC:

   Enter the system names separated by spaces on which to uninstall

   SFRAC:saturn

4. The uninstaller checks for Storage Foundation 5.0 for Oracle RAC packages currently installed on your system. It also checks for dependencies between packages to determine the packages it can safely uninstall and in which order.
5. You can proceed with uninstallation when the uninstaller is ready:

   uninstallsfrac is now ready to uninstall SFRAC packages.

   All SFRAC processes that are currently running will be stopped.

Are you sure you want to uninstall SFRAC packages? [y,n,q] (y)

6. When you press Enter to proceed, the uninstaller stops process and drivers running on each system, and reports its activities.
7. When the uninstaller is done, it describes the location of a summary file and a log of uninstallation activities.

   Uninstallig SFRAC: 100&

   Uninstallation completed successfully

   Log files, summary file, and response file are saved at:
