How to cleanly uninstall Portal7 on Solarisx86.

Hi,

I am new to JES and portal. I tried installing portal install just to monkey with it. I got a alot of errors about configuration. I wanted to start cleanly again so I uninstall using the uninstaller. However, it does not seem to remove enverything. I still see the instace of webserver running. So I would appreciate if anyone can tell me steps to cleanly uninstall everything I installed with the JES installer.

Thanks,

BC

Hi,

I had same problem short time ago, I solved this by making brute-force script to remove whole JES :o)

So adapt next script form your environment:

Peter

#!/bin/sh -v

# cat /var/sadm/install/logs/Java_Enterprise_System_install.B08011313|grep "Installing Package:"|cut -f 2 -d : >uninstall_pkg_list_short

ADMIN=/tmp/rm_pkgadmin

echo "action=nocheck" > $ADMIN

echo "idepend=nocheck" >> $ADMIN

echo "rdepend=nocheck" >> $ADMIN

echo "space=nocheck" >> $ADMIN

echo "mail=" >> $ADMIN

/etc/init.d/appserver stop

/etc/init.d/derby stop

/etc/init.d/directory stop

/usr/sbin/mpsadmserver unconfigure

/usr/sbin/directoryserver -u 5.2 unconfigure

for pkg in `cat uninstall_pkg_list_short`; do

pkgrm -A -n -a $ADMIN $pkg

done

Peter,

nice!, I like your style!.

I opted to use solaris 10, whole root-zones, and install JES under that, this way, if it doesn't work, just nuke the zone, and move on to another one, fast/easy/straightforward, and no worries about 'contamination'

- when creating a new zone, make sure you use 'create -b' to force a whole-root zone creation. JES 2006Q4 looks to support sparse zones now so that's good to see they are working on this.

(using sol 10 end user selection, takes around 7-10 minutes for whole root, depending on hardware (tested on x4200 and sparc 220R)

Sol 10 zones/containers are a godsend for JES installs :-) as previously a 'clean' uninstall of JES is unreliable, so using peter's script looks great, to really 'remove' any legacy pieces within it.
