Uninstalling HP Systems Insight Manager from an HP-UX system

Stop the HP Systems Insight Manager daemons:

mxstop

Verify that the daemons are no longer running:

ps -ef | grep mx

If any of the HP Systems Insight Manager daemons are running, note their process IDs (PIDs) in the ps -ef output, and kill them:

kill -9 PID

where PID is the process ID of the daemon. For example, if the ps -ef | grep mx command displays a line that looks like:

root 18582 1 0 Jan 12 ? 00:13:18 /opt/mx/lbin/mxinventory

then the command to kill this daemon is:

kill -9 18582

(Optional) Back up the HP Systems Insight Manager database:

/opt/hpsmdb/pgsql/bin/pg_dump -f filename

where filename is the name of the backup file.

To restore HP SIM using the database, see the HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 User Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html.

Remove the HP Systems Insight Manager software:

swremove -x enforce_dependencies=false HPSIM-HP-UX

Remove the directories installed by the HP SIM software:

rm -fr /opt/mx /etc/opt/mx
