This application unregisters the Data Protection for VMware vCenter plug-in in the vCenter and removes the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware files. During the uninstallation process, you must specify the vCenter user name and the vCenter password to unregister the Data Protection for VMware vCenter plug-in. If you use a silent uninstallation, the properties file must contain the following parameters that are needed to unregister the Data Protection for VMware vCenter plug-in:
  • VCENTER_HOSTNAME
  • VCENTER_USERNAME
  • VCENTER_PASSWORD
  • WEBSERVER_HOSTNAME

If Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments is not installed, the uninstallation wizard also uninstalls the following common components:

  • Embedded WebSphere® Application Server
  • IBM® User Interface Help System
  • The Data Protection for VMware vCenter plug-in
  • The vmcli database
  • The Data Protection for VMware command-line interface
  • IBM GSKit components

The Data Protection for VMware vCenter plug-in files are removed during uninstallation only if no other installation of Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware or Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments remains on the system.
