To remove NetBackup from UNIX servers
1 Log on as the root user on the server.
 
2 Perform a catalog backup.
 
3 If the NetBackup Administration Console is open, you must close it now.
 
4 Save all important data from any add-on products that you have installed.
 
5 Stop the NetBackup/Media Manager daemons with the following command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp.kill_all
 
 
6 Identify any installed add-on products by using the following command:
AIX lslpp -L
HP-UX swlist
Linux rpm -qa
Solaris pkginfo
Seven add-on products can be installed on the server. They are:
SYMCfrnb
SYMCfrnbclt
SYMCjanb
SYMCjanbclt
SYMCzhnb
SYMCzhnbclt
SYMCnbsds
Remove any add-on products found.
 
7 For Solaris systems only, run the following command:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/sg.install -deinstall
<pkg-install-root>
 
8 To unregister NetBackup from the VxUL master configuration that is stored in
the /etc/vx/vrtslog.conf file, run the following command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/vxlogcfg -r -p 51216
The -p option specifies the product ID, which is 51216 for NetBackup.
 
9 If BMR is supported and enabled on the server, remove the associated files
with the following command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bmrsetupmaster -undo -f

10 To unregister all NetBackup products with LiveUpdate, enter the following
command:

11 If you moved the NBDB files from their default installation location, you must
delete these files manually as follows:
■ Navigate to the following directory where the NBDB files reside:
/usr/openv/db/data
■ Open the vxdbms.conf file.
This file contains a list of the database-related files and the path for each
file.
■ Delete each of the database-related files.
 
12 If NetBackup Fibre Transport is supported and enabled on the server, remove
the associated files with the following command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftsrv_config -d
 
13 For the clients that support PureDisk, remove all PureDisk files with the following
command:
/opt/pdag/bin/uninstall.sh
 
14 For the clients that support MSDP, remove all MSDP files with the following
command:
/opt/pdde/pddeuninstall.sh -basedir /usr/openv/pdde/ -ostdir
/usr/openv/lib/ost/plugins/ -forceclean
Note: Be aware the preceding command is a single command which takes
three parameters (basedir , , ostdir, and forceclean ), and two directory
parameters take paths as input.
 
15 To remove the NetBackup server package, run the following command:
AIX installp -u SYMCnetbp
HP-UX swremove SYMCnetbp
Linux rpm -e SYMCnetbp

19 Remove PBX with the appropriate native command as follows:
Note: Remember, you should not remove PBX if your server uses other
Symantec software products that require PBX to run.

20 To remove the /usr/openv directory, select one of the following methods:
Warning: The rm -f /usr/openv command also removes any add-on products
that are installed on the computer where you perform this command.
■ If /usr/openv is the actual directory, run the following command:
rm -rf /usr/openv
■ If /usr/openv is a symbolic link to that directory, run the following
commands:
cd /usr/openv
pwd
ls
Warning: Before you continue, make sure that you are at the correct location
and verify that the subdirectories are what you expect them to be. To help
prevent removing the wrong directories, the previous commands verify your
current location and list the files in that directory. After you verify the directory
location and its contents, remove the directory with the next commands.
rm -rf *
cd /
rm -f /usr/openv

Removing NetBackup from UNIX servers
■ If LiveUpdate is the only product installed in the /opt/Symantec directory,
remove the following files:
rm -f /etc/Symantec.conf
rm -f /etc/Product.Catalog.JavaLiveUpdate
 
25 To remove the NetBackup-Java application state data for the root account, run
the appropriate command as follows:
Warning: Do not insert a space between the slash character (/) and the period
or the dot character (.) of /.veritas . A space between these characters
removes all of your files from the root level and beyond.
■ To remove the NetBackup-Java application state data for the root account
for all releases, run the following command:
/bin/rm -rf /.veritas
■ To remove the NetBackup-Java application state data for the root account
for a specific release, run the following command:
/bin/rm -rf /.veritas/java/ <version>
Where <version> is the six-digit NetBackup version number. For example,
NetBackup version 7.6 with no upgrades applied would be entered as
760000.
 
26 Inform NetBackup-Java users that they can remove their $HOME/.veritas
directory.
The $HOME/.veritas and the $HOME/.veritas/java directories contain
application state information, that is saved when the user exits NetBackup-Java
applications. The saved information includes table column order and size. The
process removes this directory for the root user only.
The common subdirectory in $HOME/.veritas/java/.userPrefs/vrts can
be removed.
27 If you enabled NetBackup Access Control, NetBackup placed several files on
clients and servers. These files can be divided into the following categories:
NetBackup application These files are removed with NetBackup.
temporary files
Removing NetBackup server software 135
Removing NetBackup from UNIX servers
These cache files reside in the $HOME/.vxss directory.
Inform all users that they can remove this directory.
Files are generated in the /.vxss directory by a Single
Sign-On operation of the NetBackup Administration
Console on the host where the console runs. The
NetBackup Administration Console cleans these files
when an exit function is performed, so the directory does
not always contain temporary files. However, if a system
crash were to occur, any files in the directory may be
left behind. With the console shutdown , you can delete
these files safely with no data loss.
NetBackup also creates cached certificates for client
and server NetBackup applications. These files reside
within the /.vxss directory. These files typically have
a name that is consistent with a DNS entry for a network
interface, as in machine.company.com. Example
directory entries are as follows:
/usr/openv/var/vxss/credentials/machine.company.com
/usr/openv/var/vxss/credentials/dhcp
These files are created with the command bpnbat
-LoginMachine. If you plan to reinstall NetBackup on
the same computer at a later date, do one of the
following:
■ Preserve the certificates in the vxss/credentials
directory.
■ If you do not preserve the certificates, you must
provide the computer identity password as originally
set on the Root+AB broker. As an alternative, you
can reset the password on the Root+AB broker when
you reinstall.

NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide .

how to remove it, see the NetBackup Security and
