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

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

pg_dump -f directory/filename

where directory is a unique location for the file outside of the HP Systems Insight Manager directory structure and filename is the name of the back up file.

Note: If you plan to remove the HP Systems Insight Manager directories later in the process, save this back up in a location outside of the default product directories.

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:

rpm -qa | grep postgresql | xargs rpm -e

To remove the PostgreSQL folder:

rm -rf /var/lib/pgsql
