The following sections describe how to uninstall an ALES Security Service Module (SSM) or Service Control Manager (SCM):

 

Uninstalling an SSM on Windows

    4. The Uninstall Welcome window appears.

    6. The Choose Components window appears.

  6. If the SSM is the only AquaLogic Enterprise Security product installed on this machine, you are presented with the following three options; otherwise you are only given the option of uninstalling the SSM.
    • Uninstall the SCM instance, if one exists
    • Uninstall the SCM instance and delete its directory, if one exists
    • Delete the SSM directory
  7. Select the desired options, and click Next.
    8. Note: If the directories contain user generated files that you want to save (for example, files in the /log or /ssl directories), do not delete the directories.

    The uninstall process begins.

    As the uninstall process runs, a checklist is displayed, listing the uninstallation tasks as they complete. After the product is removed, the "uninstall complete" message appears.

Uninstalling an SSM on UNIX

To run the graphical mode uninstallation program, your console must support a Java-based GUI. If the uninstallation program determines that your system cannot support a Java-based GUI, the uninstallation program automatically starts in console mode.

  1. Log in to the machine.
  2. Stop the Service Control Manager (SCM), if one exists.

If you want to uninstall the Service Control Manager, check the Uninstall SCM box and click Next.
