This section describes how to uninstall Device Manager and its related products.
CAUTION: You must restore the kernel parameters after uninstalling the Device Manager server.

cvxpaegetlogs command to collect the maintenance information, and then contact
maintenance personnel. For more information on the cvxpaegetlogs command, see subsection

4-6-1 Uninstalling the Device Manager server
WARNING: Unless you are experiencing problems and need to redo a complete installation, you
should not uninstall Device Manager.
WARNING: If no XP Command View AE Suite products are using Common Component, it will be
uninstalled when you uninstall Device Manager. If another XP Command View AE Suite product is
using Common Component, it will not be uninstalled. In this case, do not delete the remaining files
and directories that are used by Common Component. Note that you cannot uninstall Common
Component by itself.
CAUTION: Check whether the following programs are installed. If they are installed, take action
by following the explanation below:
•
A program that monitors security
Stop the program that monitors security, or change its settings so that Device Manager can be
uninstalled normally.
• A program that detects viruses
We recommend that you stop programs that detect viruses, and then uninstall Device Manager.
If a program that detects viruses is running during uninstallation of Device Manager, the speed of
uninstallation might be reduced, uninstallation might fail, or uninstallation might finish in an incorrect
state.
• A program that monitors processes
Stop the program that monitors processes, or change its settings so that the program does not monitor
the processes of the Device Manager server and Common Component.
If a program that monitors processes starts or stops the above processes during uninstallation of Device
Manager, uninstallation might fail.
CAUTION: When you uninstall Device Manager from a machine on which another XP Command
View AE Suite product is installed, the GO menu item for launching Device Manager might remain
on the dashboard of that program. Also, if uninstallation of Device Manager fails, the GO menu
item might remain. To remove the GO menu item, execute the command below as a user who has
User Management permissions. When this command is executed, the Common Component
services must be running.
installation-directory-for-Common-Component/bin/hcmdsintg -delete -type
DeviceManager -user user-ID -pass password
The following shows an example of executing the command:
# /opt/CVXPAE/Base/bin/hcmdsintg -delete -type DeviceManager -user
dvmuser1 -pass sys0305
To uninstall the Device Manager server:
1. Log on to the Linux system as the root user.
When a user other than a root user attempts uninstallation, the message ERROR: User is
not root is displayed, and the uninstallation then stops.
