2. Start uninstallvcs program.

   # cd /opt/VRTS/install
   # ./uninstallvcs

   VCS configuration files exist on this system with the following 
   information:
   
         Cluster Name: VCS_cluster2
         Cluster ID Number: 7
         Systems: galaxy nebula

   Select one of the following:

   • To uninstall VCS on all nodes, press Enter.

   • To uninstall VCS only on specific nodes, enter n.

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

   The uninstallvcs program prompts this information in one of the following conditions:

   • You enter n .

   • The program finds no VCS configuration files on the local node.

7. If depots, such as enterprise agents, are found to be dependent on a VCS depot, the uninstaller prompt you on whether you want them removed. Enter y to remove the designated depots.

8. Review the uninstaller report after the verification.

9. Press Enter to uninstall the VCS depots.

   Are you sure you want to uninstall VCS depots? [y,n,q] (y)
