Uninstalling SFCFS filesets using the script-based installer

Use the following procedure to remove SFCFS products.

Not all filesets may be installed on your system depending on the choices that you made when you installed the software.

To shut down and remove the installed SFCFS filesets

  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. If the VxVM package (VRTSvxvm) is installed, read and follow the uninstallation procedures for VxVM.

  4. Stop the VEA Service.

    # /opt/VRTS/bin/vxsvcctrl stop
  5. Make sure you have performed all of the prerequisite steps.

  6. In an HA configuration, stop VCS processes on either the local system or all systems.

    To stop VCS processes on the local system:

    # hastop -local

    To stop VCS processes on all systems:

    # hastop -all
  7. Move to the /opt/VRTS/install directory and run the uninstall script.

    # cd /opt/VRTS/install

    For Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System

    # ./uninstallsfcfs
  8. The uninstall script prompts for the system name. Enter one or more system names, separated by a space, from which to uninstall SFCFS, for example, host1:

    Enter the system names separated by spaces from which to
    uninstall Storage Foundation: host1
  9. The uninstall script prompts you to select Storage Foundation Cluster File System or Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability.

  10. The uninstall script prompts you to confirm the uninstall. If you respond yes, the processes are stopped and the filesets are uninstalled.

    The uninstall script creates log files and displays the location of the log files.

  11. Most filesets have kernel components. In order to ensure complete removal, a system reboot is recommended after all filesets have been removed.
