To uninstall the Symantec High Availability Console

1. On the Symantec High Availability Console host open Windows Add or Remove Programs.

   This launches the Symantec High Availability installer.

   Web Service Https Port	Specify the https port used by the VMware Web Service. The default port number is 443.
   User Name	Specify the name of the user account that has the privileges to extend the vSphere Client. The installer uses this account to unregister the High Availability plugin on the vCenter Server.

5. On the System Validation panel, the installer automatically selects the local host for uninstallation and begins verification. After the status shows as Ready for uninstall, click Next.

   If the system does not meet the required criteria, the status is reflected as Verification failed. To view the cause of a validation failure, click the Information icon. Rectify the issue and then click Re-verify to perform the validation checks again.

   The wizard does not proceed unless the system passes the validation checks.
