Uninstalling the Sametime Video Manager and solidDB

The IBM® Sametime® Video Manager runs with solidDB®. When you uninstall the Video Manager, you also uninstall solidDB.

Before you begin

Remove the node from the deployment manager.

About this task

Running the install program on the Sametime server allows you to see the Uninstall option.

Procedure

  1. Stop all servers associated with the Sametime Video Manager Server in the order shown.
    1. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console on the deployment manager and stop the node agent for the server (or servers if you are working in a cluster).
    2. Stop the Video Manager Server and the solidDB server as described in Starting and stopping the Video Manager Server.
    3. Stop WebSphere® Application Server.
    4. Stop the deployment manager.
  2. Close all browsers and command windows that are accessing the server you plan to uninstall.
  3. Working on the server you want to uninstall, run the Installation Manager.

    /opt/IBM/InstallationManagerInstallationDirectory/eclipse/IBMIM

  4. Choose the components to remove from the server. Click Next.
  5. Click Uninstall.

    The Uninstall command removes the profile. The Repository Information section that appears after uninstalling the software will not have any files listed.

  6. Uninstall solidDB by completing these steps:
    1. Access /opt/solidDB/soliddb-7.0/Uninstall_IBM_solidDB_7.0.
    2. Enter this command:

      Uninstall_IBM_solidDB_7.0

    3. When the command finishes successfully, delete the /opt/solidDB directory.
      Note: If solidDB is not cleaned up properly, the next installation will fail. This step is very important.

What to do next

If you plan to reinstall Sametime, you must clean out the unused directories to reinstall successfully.
