Troubleshooting
Problem
How should I uninstall the Guardium GIM agent and all modules on the DB server.
Cause
Current documentation in IBM InfoSphere Guardium Version 8.0 Guardium Installation Manager and earlier do not have clear instructions for un-installing the GIM agent and all modules.
This lack of documentation is being addressed in the next major release of the documentation
Resolving The Problem
1. As user root check the /etc/inittab
- Make sure the gim and supervisor (gim and gsvr) entries are NOT commented out with a hash (#) symbol at the start of the line. If either of them are commented out, uncomment them , save the /etc/inittab file and issue the command
- init q
2. From a directory that is not within the guardium installation directory :
- as user root run the uninstall.pl using the full path prefix
- <gim install dir>/GIM/current/uninstall.pl
- for example
- /usr/local/guardium/modules/GIM/current/uninstall.pl
3. If the script prompts you to reboot the system (usually when STAP is installed), restart the system in the following way - depending on the platform
| O/S | Command |
|---|---|
| Linux | shutdown -r |
| SuSe | reboot |
| HP-UX | shutdown -r |
| Solaris | shutdown -i 6 |
| AIX | reboot |
| Tru64 | reboot |
