Portal, V6.1

 

Uninstall manually on Solaris

If the uninstallation program is not present or an aborted installation did not create a complete and functional uninstallation program, you can manually uninstall IBM WebSphere Portal.

To manually uninstall WebSphere Portal:

  1. To stop the server1 and WebSphere_Portal servers from the WP_PROFILE/bin directory:

    1. ./stopServer.sh server1 -username adminid -password passwd

    2. ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username adminid -password passwd

  2. Verify that there are no other installations or uninstallations running.

  3. Locate and delete the /tmp/portalinstall.lockfile file.

  4. Uninstall WAS; to manually uninstall it, refer to Uninstall manually.

  5. Delete the portal_server_root directory tree and the WP_PROFILE directory tree.

  6. To edit the vpd.properties file and remove WebSphere Portal information:

    1. Open the /vpd.properties or /root/vpd.properties file.

    2. Remove all lines that contain the portal_server_root installation string.

    3. Save and close the vpd.properties file.

  7. To edit the .ITLMRegistry file and remove WebSphere Portal information:

    1. Open the /root/.ITLMRegistry file.

    2. Remove all lines that contain the portal_server_root installation string.

    3. Save and close the .ITLMRegistry file.

  8. To remove WebSphere Portal entries from your operating system's native registry using the native registry tool:

    1. Search for the two entries in the Solaris registry:

      Entry Results
      #pkginfo | grep IBMWPS If there are no matching entries when using this command, no further action is required for this entry. The resulting list of packages are in the "application ISIBMWPSc WebSphere Portal Server Component" format.
      #pkginfo | grep WebSpherePortalProduct If there are no matching entries when using this command, no further action is required for this entry. The resulting list of packages are in the "application WebSpherePortalProduct WebSphere Portal Server Product" format.

    2. Change to the /var/sadm/pkg directory where the package information is registered.

    3. Enter the #pkgrm ISIBMWPSc WebSpherePortalProduct command to remove packages.
