Manually uninstalling Lotus Connections

Uninstall Lotus Connections without using the uninstallation wizard.

    1. Log into a node that you want to remove from a cluster.

    2. Open a command prompt and change to the profile_root/bin directory.

    3. Run the removeNode script file to remove this node:

      • AIX or Linux:

        removenode.sh

        [-username uid] [-password pwd]

      • Windows:

        removenode.bat

        [-username uid] [-password pwd]
