Uninstalling NSM/web Manually
2. From OSS, issue a cd command to one of the three directories and run the 
unstall script. If, for example, CORBA executable files were installed in the 
directory /usr/tandem/lobsterServers, enter:
cd /usr/tandem/lobsterServers
Then enter:
./unstall
3. unstall prompts you for permission to uninstall NSM/web. Enter Y for yes and N 
for no.
4. If you enter Y, unstall begins to stop every CORBA server process that is 
running, including NSM/web. Before stopping each process, unstall prompts you 
to enter Y before it stops the process.
If you enter N to any of these prompts, unstall stops and does not continue.
You can also stop unstall at any time by pressing Ctrl-z. If you do, you can 
resume unstall by restarting the script. However, residual files might remain 
from the first uninstall attempt, and you might not get a complete uninstall 
operation on the next attempt.
The uninstallation process is finished when this message appears:
NSM/web has been uninstalled
Uninstalling NSM/web Manually
If, for any reason, the unstall script is unable to uninstall NSM/web, or if you have an 
older version of NSM/web that does not include the unstall file, use these steps to 
manually remove the software: 
1. Before using the steps in this procedure, move any non-NSM/web files stored in 
the installation directories noted above. 
2. Stop NSM/web by using this command:
/usr/tandem/NSMweb/bin>stopNSMweb
3. Verify that all NSM/web processes are stopped. If all Guardian files were installed 
at the default location, these files should not have open states:
Note. This procedure assumes that the installation uses these default directories:
•
OSS files directory: /usr/tandem/NSMweb
•
Web contents directory: /usr/tandem/webserver/root/NSMweb
•
Guardian files location: $SYSTEM.NSMWEB
If your installation does not use the default directories, substitute your site-specific values in 
the following steps.
Caution. It is critical that you identify and move any non-NSM/web files stored in the 
installation directories because the remaining steps delete the files in these directories.
