Uninstalling NSM/web by Using the unstall Script
If T2806ABA or a superseding product is installed on a NonStop system, you can use
the unstall shell script to uninstall NSM/web.
NSM/web uses three directories during installation:
•
Directory for the Web files (for example,
/usr/tandem/webserver/root/lobster)
•
Directory for the executables and startup/stop scripts (for example,
/usr/tandem/lobsterServers)
•
Directory that contains Guardian file types for CORBA (for example,
/G/system/lobster)
To uninstall NSM/web from any one of these three directories, run the unstall script.
The directories also contain these text files, which are used by the unstall script:
•
instinfo, which contains the names of all the installation directories and the date
of the installation. unstall uses this information to locate the files it needs to
uninstall.
•
unfiles, which contains the names of the files in the current install directory. For
example, the /usr/tandem/lobsterServers/unfiles file contains a list of
the CORBA files that exist in that directory. Each unfiles file is unique for its
directory.
If users add their own files to install directories, unstall does not remove them. This
restriction is required so that users and developers can append new files to the
NSM/web directories, yet maintain a current NSM/web installation.
To run unstall, you must be the owner of the installation. Other users with equal or
higher permission than the owner can uninstall NSM/web, but only after the owner or
super ID (255,255) has first changed the execute permission of the unstall script by
entering the OSS command chmod +x unstall.
To uninstall NSM/web by using the unstall script:
1. Stop NSM/web by using the steps in Stopping NSM/web on page 1-16.
Note. If T2806ABA is not installed on your NonStop system, see Uninstalling NSM/web
(T2806ABA Is Not Installed) on page 2-9.
Note. If you delete the unfiles file for one or more of the current install directories, you
might not be able to run unstall.
