Uninstalling HP Systems Insight Manager from an HP-UX system
CAUTION: Removing HP Systems Insight Manager permanently deletes the information in the database
unless you back it up before removing the software.
1. Stop the HP Systems Insight Manager daemons:
mxstop
2. Verify that the daemons are no longer running:
ps -ef | grep mx
If any of the HP Systems Insight Manager daemons are running, note their process IDs (PIDs) in the ps
-ef output, and kill them:
kill -9 PID
where PID is the process ID of the daemon. For example, if the ps -ef | grep mx command displays
a line that looks like:
root 18582 1 0 Jan 12 ? 00:13:18 /opt/mx/lbin/mxinventory
then the command to kill this daemon is:
kill -9 18582
3. (Optional) Back up the HP Systems Insight Manager database:
/opt/hpsmdb/pgsql/bin/pg_dump -f filename
where filename is the name of the backup file.
To restore HP SIM using the database, see the HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 User Guide at http://

swremove -x enforce_dependencies=false HPSIM-HP-UX
