11 Removing HP XP7 Performance Advisor
To remove HP XP7 Performance Advisor, you must first remove the host agent from each host, and
then remove HP XP7 Performance Advisor from the management station.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the following are completed before you proceed:
• No other user is accessing the folders in the <Installation_Directory>\HPSS
(%HPSS_HOME%) folder on the management station and the <Installation_Directory>\
Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\XPPA\hostagent folder on the respective hosts.
If it is a custom install location, the HPSS folder is available in the <Installation_Drive>:\
<Installation_Directory>\HPSS folder and the hostagent folder is available in the
<Installation_Drive>:\<Installation_Directory>\hostagent\config folder.
• None of the HP XP7 Performance Advisor related files, such as the log files, script files,
properties files are being accessed by other users.
You must log on to the host and the management station as a default administrator
(administrator:administrator) to remove the host agents and HP XP7 Performance Advisor
respectively.
Removing the HP XP7 Performance Advisor host agent
NOTE:
• If the Storage Area Manger 3.3 host agent is also installed on the same host as the HP XP7
Performance Advisor host agent, remove the HP XP7 Performance Advisor host agent before
removing the Storage Area Manager host agent. Removing the Storage Area Manager host
agent first might lead to the removal of some HP XP7 Performance Advisor components.
• Use the host agent installer of the existing installed version to remove the host agent.
• After the existing host agent version is removed, the corresponding host agent record is still
visible on the HP XP7 Performance Advisor's Host Information screen. Click Remove Host to
manually remove the host agent record from the management station. For more information
on removing host agent records, see the HP XP7 Performance Advisor Software User Guide.
Removing a Windows host agent
To remove the host agents from the Windows hosts, complete the following steps:
1. At the host, select Start+Run, type appwiz.cpl, and press the Enter key.
2. Select HP XP7 Performance Advisor <ver> Host Agent Installer to remove the existing version
of the host agent. The installer informs you that a system reboot is required after the host agent
is removed.
3. Click OK to proceed or click Cancel. The installer starts gathering the required information.
This might take few minutes. The installer then prompts you to remove the RAID Manager
Library functions.
