Uninstalling Oracle9i (optional)

To uninstall Oracle9i, use the runInstaller utility. You must run the utility on each system if Oracle9i is installed locally. If Oracle9i is installed on a cluster file system, you need only run the utility once.

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

   Example: for the Bourne Shell (bash, sh or ksh):

   $ export DISPLAY=host:0.0

   Example: for the C Shell (csh):

   $ setenv DISPLAY host:0.0

3. Run the Oracle9i utility runInstaller.

   $ cd $ORACLE_BASE/oui/install

   $ runInstaller

   As the utility starts up, be sure to select the option to uninstall the Oracle9i software. Refer to the Oracle9i Installation Guide for addition information about running the utility.

4. If necessary, remove Oracle9i from the other systems.
