After uninstalling IBM® Sametime® from a WebSphere-based
server, clean out the unused directories to prepare for reinstalling Sametime successfully.
About this task
To assist with logging, Installation Manager leaves some
directories intact after uninstallation. You must remove these directories
after uninstallation if you plan to reinstall Sametime. Otherwise, the
reinstallation process will fail. To verify which directories need
to be removed, open the Installation Manager log file at Install_manager_root/
Procedure
-
Log on as root (AIX® or Linux™) or as the system administrator (Windows™).
- From a command shell window or Windows Explorer, navigate to the /opt/IBM directory
or the equivalent top directory of your WebSphere® Application Server installation.
- Remove the Sametime server
directory for the product you uninstalled. Do not remove installation
root directories for products that you intend to keep.
AIX and Linux
Remove WebSphere Application Server directories
with the following command, replacing was_install_root with
the Sametime server
directories you want to remove.
rm -rf was_install_root
Windows
Delete the installation
root directory for the Sametime server
you uninstalled.
- Remove the profile directories.
Locate all
of the profile directories and delete the directories if they were
located outside of the was_install_root directory.
- (Linux) If you uninstalled
Video Manager and solidDB®,
also remove the solidDB directory.
