Uninstall ClearCase 7.1 on Linux or Unix

Answer

1. Use the Installation Manager to uninstall ClearCase
   
   Note: It is necessary to run this step as to ensure that the Installation Manager properly reflects that the product is no longer installed. If you need assistance with uninstalling a product using Installation Manager, refer to the IBM Installation Manager documentation under the topic of Uninstalling products, packages, and updates.
   
   
2. Stop ClearCase
   /opt/rational/clearcase/etc/clearcase stop
   
   
3. Uninstall Global Monitoring (if installed)
   
1. Get all running agents by running <gm_installdir>/bin/cinfo -r
2. On each agent returned, run <gm_installdir>/bin/itmcmd agent -f stop <agentcode>
3. Run <gm_installdir>/bin/uninstall.sh rc <os_code>
   where <os_code> is one of the values below:
   - If the operating system is Solaris, <os_code> = sol286
   - If the operating system is Linux (32 bit), <os_code> = li6263
   - If the operating system is Linux (64 bit), <os_code> = lx8266
   - If no other agents are installed on your system, execute
   <gm_installdir>/bin/uninstall.sh REMOVE EVERYTHING
   
   
4. Unload / uninstall the MVFS
   
   
• All platforms
  If the MVFS viewroot is mounted on /view, unmount /view
  Then run:
  rmdir /view
  
  
• Linux
• Remove files
  rm -rf /sbin/mount.mvfs
  find /lib/modules -name mvfs.o -exec rm -rf {} \;
  find /lib/modules -name mvfs.ko -exec rm -rf {} \;
  find /lib/modules -name vnode.o -exec rm -rf {} \;
  find /lib/modules -name vnode.ko -exec rm -rf {} \;
• If the linux kernel is 2.6, run /sbin/depmod
  rm -rf /etc/exports.mvfs
  
• Modify Cron Job to remove MVFS components
1. Open the following files: "/etc/rc.config", "/etc/sysconfig/locate", "/etc/diskcheck.conf", "/etc/updatedb.conf"
2. Modify the files as follows:
   
1. If the line starts with "UPDATEDB_PRUNEPATHS" or "PRUNEPATHS", remove /view
2. If the line starts with "ignore", remove -xmvfs
3. If the line starts with "UPDATEDB_PRUNEFS", remove mvfs
   
3. (for SUSE Linux) Run: /sbin/SuSEconfig
4. Run crontab -l > /var/tmp/crontab_output
5. Open /var/tmp/crontab_output and remove all occurrences of "-o -fstype mvfs -prune"
6. Run: crontab /var/tmp/crontab_output
• /sbin/chkconfig --del clearcase

2. if "grep nfsfind /var/tmp/crontab_output" returns a line, open /usr/lib/fs/nfs/nfsfind
1. Remove all occurences of && substr($1,1,6) != "/view/""
3. Open /var/tmp/crontab_output and remove all occurences of "-o -fstype mvfs -prune"
4. Run: crontab /var/tmp/crontab_output
