You can use the following procedure to uninstall the Tivoli® Storage
Manager
Linux x86_64 client.
Before you begin
You must be logged in as root to uninstall the product. Uninstall the packages in the order
shown.
Procedure
To uninstall a previously installed Tivoli Storage
Manager client package, enter the following commands to
remove the packages for journal-based backup, the filepath component, the backup-archive client, the
API, and the IBM Global Security Kit
(GSKit).
Tip: The version number of the packages is not needed for
uninstall.
- To uninstall the journal-based backup components only, remove both packages (journal-based
backup and filepath). The TIVsm-JBB package depends on the filepath package. If
you use two separate rpm -e commands to uninstall the components one at a time,
uninstall the TIVsm-JBB package first.
rpm -e TIVsm-JBB TIVsm-filepath
- Uninstall the backup-archive client packages:
- If you installed the optional TIVsm-BAcit package, uninstall it before you
uninstall the client:
rpm -e TIVsm-BAcit
- Uninstall the backup-archive client.
rpm -e TIVsm-BA
Note: If language packages are installed in a Version 7.1.2 or earlier client, you must remove them
before you remove the API package. Enter the following command, and replace
xx_xx
with the language code for each additional language that you installed. For a list of language code
identifiers, see
Table 1.
rpm -e TIVsm-msg.xx_xx

- Uninstall any products that depend on the API, such as IBM® Tivoli Storage Manager Data Protection products. Any API-dependent
products must be uninstalled before you uninstall the API package. If you uninstall an API-dependent
product, you must reinstall it after you install a newer version of the backup-archive client and
API packages. Consult the documentation of the dependent product to determine what you need to do to
prevent data loss when you uninstall and reinstall the products.
- If you installed the optional API common inventory package (TIVsm-APIcit),
uninstall it before you uninstall the API package. Use the following command to uninstall the
package:
rpm -e TIVsm-APIcit
- Uninstall the API package by using the following command:
rpm -e TIVsm-API64
- To remove the GSKit 64-bit package, enter the following command:
rpm -e gskcrypt64 gskssl64
