Uninstalling HP Systems Insight Manager from a Linux system

Stop the HP Systems Insight Manager daemons:

/opt/mx/bin/mxstop

Verify that the daemons are no longer running:

ps -ef | grep mx

If any of the HP Systems Insight Manager daemons are running, record the PID and kill the process:

kill -9 pid

where pid is the PID of the daemon. For example,

kill -9 3456

Remove the HP Systems Insight Manager software:

rpm -qa | grep hpsim | xargs rpm -e

(Optional) If other applications are not using PostgreSQL, you can remove it:

1. Verify that the daemons are no longer running:

   ps –ef | grep post

   If any of the Postmaster/Postgres daemons are running, record the PID and kill all the process:

   kill -9 pid

   where pid is the PID of the daemon. For example,

   kill -9 3456

Now remove the PostgreSQL database:

rpm -qa | grep postgresql | xargs rpm -e

To remove the HP SIM and PostgreSQL folder:

rm -rf /var/opt/mx /etc/opt/mx /opt/mx /var/lib/pgsql /usr/lib/pgsql /etc/sysconfig/postgresql

Restart the system.
